Is much easier to configure
Uses a standard algorithm on all compliant products to generate a key from a textual passphrase
Will be incorporated into the new IEEE 802.11i wireless networking standard
For new wireless LANs, we recommend purchasing client adapters that support WPA, such as the Motorola Wireless Notebook Adapter WN825G, Wireless PCI Adapter WPCI810G, and Wireless USB Adapter WU830G. For more information about the benefits of WPA, see the
