Bug Description

Binary package hint: airport-utils

Package: airport-utils
Version: 1-6

Currently, airport-config and airport2-config only allow configuration
of WEP encryption. Newer AirPort devices also support WPA, which is
much more secure.
Please add the option to configure WPA-settings to these tools.
