file from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless
Protected Access” is available for free download. Download the patch
from Microsoft by searching the knowledge base for Windows XP WPA.
Note:
The file that Microsoft has made available works only with
Windows XP. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.
You also need to ensure that the wireless card’s manufacturer supports
WPA and that you have downloaded and installed the latest driver from
their support site.
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows XP Professional
Windows XP Home Edition

What’s the difference between 802�11g and draft 802�11n?
Currently there are three commonly used wireless networking standards,
which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based
on the designation for certifying network standards. The most common
wireless networking standard, 802.11g, can transmit information up
to 54Mbps; 802.11a also supports up to 54Mbps, but in the 5GHz
frequency; and 802.11n draft specification can connect at up to
300Mbps. See the chart on the next page for more detailed information.
