Description of problem: When creating a new wireless connection by means of s-c-n, only WEP encryption is available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-1.5.93-2.fc10.noarch How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch s-c-n. 2. Create a new wireless connection. Actual results: The GUI only offers WEP encryption by entering the associated key. Expected results: WPA/WPA2 encryption can be configured, too. Additional info: - Now that NM can handle system wide configuration files ifcfg-* which allows to provide network connectivity before user login and even has superseded the standard network service, it is important to allow for WPA/WPA2 configuration since WEP encryption is deprecated and most APs are now set up for WPA/WPA2 [or, at least, it is highly recommended to do so]. - NM allows to set up WPA/WPA2 for quite a while now but connections created this way are only available to a local user after the boot procedure has completed and the user has logged in.

WPA is only possible with NetworkManager. There is no initscripts/wpa-supplicant support in the standard network scripts.
