Hello Fred,

Good luck with that, I'm still trying to find ANY currently available
wireless PC card that will work without using NDISWrapper. :)

Sorry I wasn't any help,
Manuel

HI

I admit up front that I know just enough about wireless networking to know
that I don't know much at all about it.

That said, I'm hoping someone can help me learn a little bit...
Specifically, could a laptop running Centos 5.1 be expected to (be able
to) connect to a wireless access point using WPA2 security settings?

I don't know if WPA depends on hardware support, or if it'll work on any ole
machine. Nor do I know what is involved in making it happen.

Clues would be appreciated.

Thanks!
