having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected access (WPa)
security�
If you are not using a Be lkin Wireless D esktop or Wirele ss Notebook
Network Card that is no t equipped with W PA-enabled softwa re, a
file from Microsoft c alled “Windows XP Support Patch fo r Wireless
Protected Access” is avai lable for free dow nload. Download the patch
from Microsoft by sea rching the knowled ge base for Window s XP WPA.
Note: The file that Microsof t has made availab le works only with
Windows XP. Other operating sy stems are not supp orted at this ti me.
You also need to ensure tha t the wireless ca rd’s manufacturer s upports
WPA and that you have download ed and installed the latest driver from
their support site.
