So OS X doesn't support WPA2 wireless??

I thought it would, it is a choice on my sisters Mac laptop. Oh well a little weird, but her "Machead" boyfriend said it doesn't. Why would WPA2 be a choice in her wireless settings??

WPA2 works fine :confused:

It does. Her fella's wrong. Surely you can see that from the fact you've seen it on your sister's mac?

I'm using WPA2 right now.

He's spewing crap.

You have to fall back to WEP for ad-hoc networks, but I doubt that's what he's talking about.

I haven't seen it, she has said it before, but I think it is odd. As I have seen in this thread "he is wrong", it worked with WEP 2 years back & prob. working with WPA, no complaints yet. Anyway, she freaks about any of the family touching it, so I haven't yet. Accept when lightening got my ethernet port a few years back, she was at work.

WPA works, she needs the next version for WPA2.

He's not a "Machead" really, he's proven that by saying that OS X doesn't support WPA2.

I have my Macbook Pro (OS 10.5) and a macbook (OS 10.4) connected to my Time Capsule using WPA2

Working here on a 2006 MBP and a 2009 Mini. He's talking crap.

Old PPC macs might not support it, but the Intel machines certainly do.

Well WPA is working, unless the first OS X doesn't support it, I have no idea why it won't work.

Connected via WPA2 currently on my G4 Powerbook 1.33, so even relatively ancient machines can manage it!

Wow, it seems it should support it, oh well WPA works so all is good.
