What cards support WPA on the MP 900C?

Has anyone been able to get a real connection to a WPA encrypted network on their 900C? If so, what cards did you use? I would like to hear from first hand users or a list of cards that WILL work if possible.

This will be useful to augment into the notes in the HCL, so please do contribute

I've always wondered about the Ambicom WL-54CF. It has CE.NET 4.2 drivers and it says in the product flyer it supports WPA2...but until someone tries it and tells me it works...I won't believe it.

dude, you read my mind, I need to know the same thing, what cards, either CF or PCMCIA are capable of WPA

Well, for me it is pretty simple: Any of my Prism-2 cards work over my WPA/TKIP Wlan using the primnds driver. Zcom XI325, Asus CF WL110, and a few more.
And, yes, I have a large key:
******************************** ( 32 characters and quite unguesssable), Works like a charm.

Excellent connections.

according to motorola the spectrum 24 should do wpa, but, in the ppc2003 arena.

will a ppc2003 driver work with 4.x ?

Any chance you can be explicit on 'a few more'?

Michelbel, specifically, which cards with which hpc handle wpa?

Lucent/Agere/Orinoco cards (or those that use that driver) should also do WPA.

You NEED to post that driver here or it isn't true.

Many of us have never seen a dialog box allowing wpa for any prism-2 chipset based driver.

Please post that driver now.

I am not going to post it as it is built-in in cmonex V2 rom. So no need there.
Works fine with WPA (Not WPA-2 though).

yes, I realized after it was too late to edit the driver is in rom.

so, how does one go about ripping the driver and using it on another 4.2 device?

there are NO places to invoke wpa2 using the prismnds.dll file from the wcf12 driver package but WPA and WEP work fine with all my prism based wifi cards.

Make sure you have all the registry entries correct as well, especially if you install a new driver. There is more to it than just copying over the prismnds.dll file. Your registry should have entries like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\Wireless-LAN_Adapter-5ABE]
"Dll"="NDIS.DLL"
"Prefix"="NDS"
"Miniport"="PRISM"

You can forget WPA2, CE has no support for dot1i or AES. This discussion is about WPA1.
