I second this. I've been wanting to configure a static IP (for better bittorrent performance etc) using wireless with WPA, but that didn't seem to be possible using the GUI-tools in Feisty.

(Work-around: Edit /etc/network/interfaces as described in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 )

When one selects "manual configuration", the network-admin application is opened, from package gnome-system-tools.

*However*, since I've upgraded to Gutsy Tribe 5, there are now options for WEP key Hex, WEP key ASCII, WPA Personal and WPA 2 Personal in the Password Type menu. So this bug could perhaps be considered fixed with Gutsy?

The problem now is just that I can't make a WPA connection work using network-admin (that is, with Roaming Mode disabled). I'll look more into it, and try to file the necessary bugs, if any.

Bug 113062 and bug 123881 seems to duplicate this one.
