My preference is wpa_auto:

James, Dave & David,


	Thank you. I have installed knetworkmanager and I'm looking at netcfg. Thanks
to Thomas as well. I hope Thomas isn't correct on the issue being a driver
limitation, I was never fond of ndiswrapper solutions. All of this is on a
desktop, not much larger than a shoebox (dell optiplex-SFF -- small form
factor) that I was going to stick under my coffee table quick access.

	If a native solution can't be found, then I know the windows driver will work
and support WPA2 because the wireless is working fine there. I'll keep picking
around and report back.
