I just bought the Linksys G trio of WRT54G wireless router, PC card and PCI
adapter. They are all 802.11g products. I noticed on the online data sheets
that both the router and PC card provide WPA security; the PCI only uses
WEP.
If WPA is enabled on the router and PC card, will the PCI card still be able
to network with them and access DSL through the router?
Would Linksys conceivably provide a firmware update to the PCI card to
provide WPA? Not sure if WPA happens in hardware or software or both.
Forgive the dumb question as I am a newbie to the 802.11 a/b/g wireless
protocols (I'm still using Open Air for home wireless and decided I'd better
get up-to-date!). Thanks for any help.
