Wireless. Enable WPA

[Curtis Vaughan]

I've installed Ibex on an Inspiron Dell 5000. I have 2 wan cards, both  
of which are detected. However, I need to connect to a WPA enabled  
access point. When I click on the network manager in the top right,  
there is no WPA option. If I go into edit connections, there is a wpa  
option and I can enter the password, but it doesn't even try to  
connect. And when I back out and try to connect as the first time,  
again no WPA. What do I need to do?
