To answer someone's question regarding XP and WPA, I found this MS KB Article on WPA Wireless Security
Update in Windows XP  http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=815485

It mentions at the bottom, that MS has been working with vendors to embed the firmware updates for the wireless
adapters into the XP WPA driver updates for the products. So, installing a new driver could give you an unwanted
firmware update if you run multiple OS or use an adapter on more than one machine.....

Should we be worried about this? Will we get WPA? any clues to the timeframe? Will we have to use Windows XP
to update the firmware in our WPA compatible hardware?
