Devon,
Make sure you have the wpa_supplicant package installed.

 The wpa_supplicant package is installed (and the update).  When I
select

my

wireless from the drop down list, it still asks for a WEP key instead of

a

WPA key.

Do I need the wpa_supplicant_gui package too?

 I see the same behaviour on my EeePC.  It does no harm, but it's
b******
annoying.  (I presume that, like me, you can use the drop-down arrow to
select WPA then manually give it the passphrase?)

 The thing is, WPA is not one of the choices.  I only have the following:
WEP 128-bit Passphrase
WEP 40/128-bit Hexadecimal
WEP 40/128-bit ASCII
LEAP
Dynamic WEP (802.1x)


 Have you tried an older kernel? I have seen some weird stuff with
wireless on the latest but it may be something else going on there.

What kind of wireless device are you working with?

I tried Ubuntu (Hardy) and got the same thing.  If I choose 'Connect to
other wireless network'  I do see the option for WPA, but it doesn't seems
to connect to my access point.

But what wireless card are you using? I suspect your problem may be there, its a possibility to explore anyway.

from a terminal as root:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lspci -v

it will produce a lot of output , look for the wireless device it should be obviously labeled
