WPA with XP Home Addition

[Wiley]

I am trying to connect a new laptop running Windows XP
Home addition to a wireless router using WPA for
security. Both the computer and the router support 802.g
and work without problem without security. I have
downloaded and installed all of the latest XP Home
Updates from the MS site includeing SP1a. I have also
downloaded and installed the WPA support Patch (download
815485).

When I attempt to configure the wireless connection on
the laptop, I do not see WPA as an option. Do I need to
install anything else? Is there anyother configuration
options?

Thanks.

You need a WPA enabled wireless adapter with updated driver.
