WPA on MN730?

Can anyone help me configure WPA on my MN-730?

I've been able to configure Encryption strength: 256-bit
WPA-PSK (stronger) on my MN-700 using the Base Station
Management Tool.

When using the Microsoft Broadband Networking Utility and
navigating to /Tools/Adapter Settings/Wireless-G PCI
Adapter MN-730/Configure/Use wireless security
(recommended). I am offered the Security strength
options of Standard (64-bit WEP) or Stronger (128-bit
WEP). 256-bit WPA-PSK is unavailable.

There appears to be a problem when attempting to 'View
Available Wireless Network Connections' from the Network
Connections view. When right-clicking on the icon for my
Wireless Network Connection the Wireless Network
Connection box appears but stays 'grayed out' and no
information is displayed.

I can view a few wireless networks (including mine)when
using the Microsoft Broadband Network
Utility/Tools/Adapter Settings/Available Networks option.

Additional Background on my configuration:

1. My Computer properties reports.

a. Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service
Pack 1.

2. Microsoft Broadband Networking Update MSBNDownload.exe
has been installed.

3. WPA Patch Q815485_WXP_SP2_X86_ENU.exe has been
installed.

4. Microsoft Broadband Network Utility reports.

a. Check for updates online reports
'No updates are available'.

b. About Microsoft Broadband Networking reports.
Broadband Network Utility software v2.0.0.638
Wireless PCI Adapter (MN-730) driver v3.20.26.0
Wireless Base Station (MN-700) boot firmware v2.0.8.333
Wireless Base Station (MN-700) runtime firmware v2.0.8.333

PS - The system works great with 128-bit WEP but my wife
wants WPA! Please help me save my marriage 

don't use the MS BNU, use XP's native WZC
