Hi All

I am currently running my wireless using WEP as Network Manager can logon to a WEP Network, however I want to change my network back to a WPA Network as I generally prefer that type of (and I use this word loosly) "security" on my Wireless.

However I am not sure how to get Network Manager to understand WPA, any ideas?

I think the only way you are going to use WPA is with the program WPA Supplicant (<-- I thnk), at my last job we had a 54 802.11G network that ran on WPA and it is screaming fast, in windows. I downloaded WPA and had a god aweful time with it as it was very secure. But there was a thread here about it, please use the search topic and look at it. It had some good info on getting started.
