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?) Anne
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)
Left click on the applet and chose connect to other netwok. There you should get a choice to use WPA.
