Does Win2K support WiFi Protected Access (WPA)? WPA is
much more secure than WEP, so I want to use it on a SMC
WiFi certified PC card. SMC says check with MS for OS
support. I can't find any mention of WPA on MS site. SMC
has updated driver that supports WinXP, but will this work
on Win2K? Am I stuck if SMC won't provide updated driver
for WPA support on Win2K?
 
See 815485 Overview of the WPA Wireless Security Update in Windows XP

"For wireless clients running Windows 2000 (or clients running Windows XP
SP1 or Windows Server 2003 and using a wireless network adapter that does
not support the Wireless Zero Configuration service), you must obtain and
install a new WPA-compliant configuration tool from your wireless network
adapter vendor."
