Can WPA be used with Windows versions other than Windows XP?
Yes, but only WinXP has a built-in WPA “supplicant” (a small application that performs the client-side duties for WPA authentication). For other OSes, you will need to use the supplicant that should be in the client utility that came with your wireless adapter. You may need to go to your adapter manufacturer’s website to download an updated client that includes the supplicant. If your adapter doesn’t have a WPA-capable client utility, you can purchase a third-party application such as Jupiter Network’s (formerly Funk) Odyssey client.
