WPA problems with "Atheros Wirless Networking Adapter"

Posted: 10-14-2006, 02:40 AM
i just installed Vista on my older Vaio laptop and one thing i'bve been
unable to do is connect to my WiFi LAN when WPA secuity is enabled (i had no
such problems w\ this NIC under XP)

i can connect just fine with Secuty disabled, and i haven't tried WEP b/c i
recently learned it's been totally cracked and is pretty pointless.

i'm wondering if this has to do with my wireless NIC -- i believe it is made
by LAN Express...

has anyone had similar issues? or isit just that WPA secuity is not yet
activated in Vista?

thanks in advance for taking the time to reply

thanks for yr reply Neph,

please post here if you've made any breakthoyghs.

right now i connect to the internet using a few other unsecurred wifi
signals in the neigborhood (shady, it know!!) but since i dont have any
personal stuff on my Vista laptop, some light webserfing and other poking
around doesnt do much harm.
