I remember a few years ago having to install the WPA patch manually on XP systems. I can't remember exactly how long ago, but I do remember doing it. It is probably similar in that you open the pull-down for encryption type and no WPA2 exists until you install the patch. Same deal with WPA some years ago.

That's pretty much exactly what I saw when I installed the WPA2 patch. Except, if the hardware does not support WPA2, then the option is not there.
