WPA2 option missing in Wirless Network Policy (GPO)

[Guest]

Hi!

We have deployed the WPA2 patch on our Windows XP clients and need to deploy
the settings with Group Policies.

(WindowsXP-KB893357-v2-x86-ENU.exe, WPA2 patch)

However, we can´t find the option to set the encryption to WPA 2 in the
gpo-settings. It seems to be missing.
Does anyone know if there is an updated GPO-inf-file for wpa2 or something?

Regards

Hi,

When the WPA2 authentication modes are missing, that usually means your
driver needs to updated. I am assuming that your laptop has an Intel
Centrino adapter. Therefore you must update your device driver to a
version that supports WPA2 authentication modes.

To obtain the latest drivers for the Intel Centrino reference the following
article on Intel.com:

Hope it helps.
