WPA/TKIP preferred to WPA2/AES ?

Hallo,

My wireless router has a configuration option to support both WPA / WPA2 
at the same time, so when a wireless client cannot talk modern WPA2 it 
can use old WPA instead.
Now it works naturally in Windows and apparently in Symbian too but 
unfortunately FreeBSD (6.4) picks up WPA and less secure TKIP instead of 
AES.  Would it be possible to amend this behaviour and use better and 
newer protocols/algorithms/ciphers when available please ?  (that is AES 
preferred to TKIP and WPA2 instead of WPA etc.)

Thanks,

Martin
