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?
