My network uses WPA, and the wife wants wireless access from her work room, but she uses Win98. It's very difficult to find specific info from manufacturer websites...does anybody know of a wireless card (or USB wireless device) that supports WPA on Win98? Or am I completely fubar on this? TIA.

Best Buy has Windows XP Home on sale for $40 AMIR this week. :) It's a drastic improvement over the old kernel in 98/ME.

Thanks. Unfortunately, the access point has WPA, and it's not going to be disabled. Plus, the embroidery software my wife needs to use was (poorly) written for Win95, and it was difficult enough to get it installed on Win98...we already know it won't work on XP, and besides, it's a PII/350 with only 128 megs, so it's a little slow.

If her computer has a NIC, just purchase a wireless bridge that supports WPA. If it doesn't have one, put one in it for a few $$'s
