WPA problem

I'm currently using WEP anyway.

I asked if my adapter supported WPA in the original post...

I know that, but you then went on to ask how to enter a WPA key and asked why you weren't able to enter it. I attempted to help you.

As no one seemed to say that WPA's weren't possible with the 340 I presumed they were. As such I went onto try and do what PieMaster suggested.

Good luck with whatever it is you're trying to do then, thanks for your gratefulness to those that attempted to help in the thread and your way of expressing it.

WTF?! So the time and effort people put into trying to help you means nothing if they cannot solve the issue for you?

It has been solved. Your adaptor clearly doesn't support WPA, however, whilst others didn't know that, they/we took our time to attempt to help you. Never mind.

Yes, the card doesn't support WPA. I'm now probably going to have to look for one that will. I just wish someone could have told me that nearly a week ago when I started the thread.

Time and effort? If it was that hard to post a screenshot of your wireless configuration window then I apologise.

I really don't see why you have started to get so defensive; maybe I should have littered my post with nice smileys?

:)

Never mind, I wasn't particularly talking about the effort I had put in (indubitedly not much), rather the reponse to some others and how people on here don't appear to appreciate people attempting to help, but don't worry about it.

Hmmmm... ok.

Anyway, as you say. I won't worry about it.
 
The 340 definatly will work with WPA-PSK, i've been using it for nearly a year now.

The standard XP drivers will do it, the cisco XP/2000 drivers will do it, even the cisco windows CE 2.11 drivers will do it.

My parents laptop is getting repaired at the min, i'll take note of the setup I do on the new OS install.
 
I just set it up again.

Using the cisco drivers, but windows wireless zero to connect with, all I had to do was doule click my wireless lan's name and enter the WPA key (as normal text) in the box and it connected straight away.

Looks like its just the windows CE drivers which need it in hexadecimal form now.

This is going to a Linksys WAG54G router, not that it should make a difference.
 
Where did you get the cisco drivers from? Also what is windows wireless zero? Is that just the normal windows config?

...The 340 LAN cards can support WPA ?
I didn't know that, thanks PieMaster. :-)
I must have old drivers....

I had the same problem getting drivers off Cisco, I reckon anything on EOL should be a freebie download :-(

I gather that the Cisco 340 access points were not updated to include WPA then ?

I guess this means I could use two 340 LAN cards as a bridge.... hmmm
