6.13WPA FOR WIRELESS CLIENTS

In most cases, you will need to upgrade and install your wireless client utility software and drivers before using WPA. Check with your wireless adapter manufacturer for utility software and driver updates as necessary. Follow their specific instructions to configure your wireless client for WPA.

Asanté supports WPA on these FriendlyNET wireless adapters:

•AeroLAN AL5410-G Wireless: 802.11g WPA: No

•AeroLAN AL5403-XG Wireless: 802.11g

WPA: Yes (Windows XP, Mac OS X)

•AeroLAN AL1611 Wireless: 802.11b WPA: Yes (Windows XP)

MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP

If you are planning to use Windows XP’s native wireless utility and WPA, download the patch from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com. Be sure that you’re running with Service Pack 1 (SP1). If your wireless adapter’s driver already supports WPA, you may not need to install Microsoft’s patch. However, by installing the Microsoft patch, many wireless adapters can use the native Windows XP wireless utility to configure WPA. Check with your wireless adapter manufacturer about using the native Windows XP wireless utility with your adapter.

Note: Microsoft does not provide support for WPA on earlier versions of Windows (e.g., Windows 98, 95 and NT).
