|  the KB893357 patch
Microsoft says this about the KB893357 patch.
"In order to take advantage of WPA2, users will also need a wireless LAN that includes the new standard and a Wi-Fi network adapter with the processing power to handle AES encryption, Athwal says.
Many of the wireless LAN access points and client adapters being sold today can use WPA2 and come with add-on software for client devices."
So the question is, which adapters have the "processing power"? Most if not all adapters on the shelf say they support WPA security. But that isn't true if one is looking for AES support. I installed this patch and then installed the Netgear WG511v2 PCMCIA adapter and the best I could get was TKIP while my router WRT54Gv3 supports both TKIP and AES.
So what is the change this patch suppose to bring? Is it to replace WPA drivers shipped with WPA capable cards? |
