wpa support in ubuntu 7.0.4

hi...
i have just installed ubuntu 7.0.4 and got most of things working...finally. Now the only problem i am facing is that in the network-manager-gnome (nm-applet ??) i get options only for wep. There is no option to connect to a network with wpa. at my home, i use a wireless network with wpa so i cant access internet etc.

I have upgraded my packages (it downloaded about 600MB of stuff) so i think i have the updated packages.
What can i do to solve this issue.

Thank you for your time.

Problem Solved.

hmm.. i dont know what the problem is with network-manager-gnome, but i installed KDE (since i use this normally) and knetworkmanager and now the problem is solved. i can connect to wireless network with wpa with knetworkmanager.

There are some open bugs with network-manager-gnome so I'd bear with it until the release on the 19th of this month. In the past I used and liked wifi-radar but Ubuntu wants to make network-manager-gnome a default part of the install.
