• WPA was designed to run on existing wireless access points and client devices with a software upgrade. In addition to upgrading their network interface card, PC users will also need to upgrade their client with software called a “supplicant.” With the help of Broadcom, Microsoft developed a supplicant for Windows XP users, which is part of the zero config. We now have WPA support for Windows 2000, Windows 98, ME in our client manager 2 software.
