Yes, this works for me. What are the parameters at the access point, insofar as TKIP and/or AES is/are concerned? 99.9% of the time when I have an issue with WPA (any OS), the problem is with a mismatch between TKIP + AES, TKIP, or AES. TKIP + AES (as I have pointed out in an earlier thread) allows for clients to use *either* TKIP *or* AES. The original WPA spec only allowed for TKIP; WPA2 allows for AES encryption as well (or instead of). If the AP supports it, I recommend setting it to TKIP + AES, and then trying one or the other on the client side (WPA PSK or WPA2 PSK, in XWLAN) to see which one works best.

WEP-encrypted connections work fine but I have yet to be successful in establishing a link with any WPA-enabled access point. I believe my card is a 8086:4224 and I am using version 2.0 of the GenMac wrapper. Does anyone have this specific combination working? -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
