Dan, I'm not sure what you mean by 'The card doesn't support WPA'. My
laptop with the ipw2200 is dual-booting, and I have no problem setting
up WPA-PSK in XP. Do you mean that I shall not be able to when I put
FC on that laptop?
That is correct, but it only requires one small non-invasive driver
patch to make WPA available. This patch should make FC5 final, so
you'll be fine once FC5 comes out.
