128-bit WEP is well and truly cracked, offering about as much protection
againist a computer-literate teenager as a screen door on an SSBN. So, I
need to change to WPA security for the home WLAN.
The Linksys WRT54G wireless router? No problem.
The Linksys WPC54G card on a Fujitsu P1032 notebook with XP? Well, neither
love nor rupees could evince a resolution from Linksys Support. I had
already upgraded to Service Pack Two, and was suprised when they sent me on
a snipe hunt to Microsoft re: Q815485
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815485
for, once you install Spack-2 you have done what M$ requires.
Three more support calls later, I recall from earlier work when I first set
up the WLAN that the TI CardBus controller built into the Fujitsu P1032 is
problematic with the standard LAN card driver, and a special driver must be
used. Said special driver
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/beta/wpc54g_beta_driver.zip
alas, is NG for WPA, while the standard driver (ver 3.30.15.0)
http://www.linksys.com/download/driver.asp?dlid=92&osid=6
is NG for anything on the P1032.
So, which other WiFi cards do y'all use on the P1032s, and do they support
WPA?
Please don't tell me about your WiFi card from another notebook computer,
unless you can confirm without question it works with the TI CardBus
controller in the P1032.
Thank you all very much, in advance, for your on-topic responses.
