WPA Security "LOCK" icon is UN-locked!

Here's my setup...

Netgear WGR614 v4 wireless router running the latest updated firmware (v
5.0_02)

WG111 USB 2.0 wireless Adapter with the latest drivers and Netgear "Wireless
Assistant" config utility (v 2.0.6.8 dated 10/4/04)

And here's what I'm seeing...

When I run WPA-PSK encryption on both the router and the adapter, I have
full connectivity and everything seems fine, yet the "secure padlock" icon
on the bottom of the Netgear utility is shown swung-open, as in not secure.
When I roll back to WEP on both sides, the padlock is shown as "closed", but
not when running WPA-PSK. Has anybody else seen this yet? There's nothing in
the Netgear knowledge base on it.

Thanks in advance...

Yes, same here and I reported to support this evening. Hopefully we'll
get a response in the next few days.

I noticed the same thing on my WG111. Has anyone come up with a
answer? I suspect the security lock icon only applies to WEP and no
WPA. When I scan the airwaves, it definitely says WPA under securit
so I think I'm protected. I wish I had the answer
