Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI card & WPA

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Can anyone confirm whether this card supports WPA?
When I look in the network poerpties of this card on my Toshiba Sat1800
there are no WPA options.
Is this because the machine/config is worng ....or does this card not
support it.

The driver is 7.43.0.9 (1/07/2001) which seems *really* old but I cant find
a newer one anywhere?
Does anyone know of a newer driver (yes I have searched the toshiba support
site) that will enable WPA on this card?

Thanks

Answered my own question:
Just found an updated driver package at www.agere.com - contains the right
driver and is version 7.82.0.550 (22/9/2003) and it *does* support WPA.
Hope that helps somone else.

I'm bumping this thread since it took me a long time to find this.
www.agere.com no longer exists, and it seems some people (including me) are struggling to find anything about this driver at www.lsi.com, but the driver can still be found at driver guide (http://www.fixya.com/support/t326932-need_updated_driver_supports_wpa) and it works.

Just to add to this. I downloaded the driver 7.82.0.550 (22/9/2003) but still couldn't get WPA. Finally I went to control panel, Wireless Network setup, and used the wizzard, there was a check box at the bottom to use WPA rather than WEP. After doing this, WPA and WEP were available. Frustrating to figure out. But my old old Satellite A20 with Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI adapter can support WPA. Some forums are directing people to replace this, and other, old card. Not necessary.
