Ok, it says its WPA2 here but not in the other spot a user would normally want to see it...
Side note:
Also, this data makes it seem that something else other then the airport is capping my speed, only the speed is only capped via wireless, and fine via ethernet...uuughh
Not quite. I have run into this problem too, only to find out that if the machine wakes from sleep, it tries to reconnect as WPA. The problem stems from a bug in the Network preference pane. It's easy enough to fix, though. In Terminal.app type:
Search for the string "WPA Personal" (it occurs twice) and replace it with "WPA2 Personal". Ta-da, it's fixed. I haven't tried to patch the Network preference pane to fix the problem, and I'm not sure that I'm allowed to. If anyone would like a script to apply the fix, I'd be happy to oblige.
Thanks for getting an answer, I figured this was just a small bug related to the notification of the WPA method and not the actual connection mechanism.
I tried this and as soon as I made any other adjustments to the networking within the preferences, the file was clobbered again and my changes were lost.
