Aironet 350 on Mac OS X using WPA

Hi,

Is there a way to use my Cisco Aironet 350 on Mac OS X using WPA
security? I only see WEP and LEAP options in the Aironet Client
Utility (3.0.1 release). I want to connect to an Airport Extreme Base
Station that requires a WPA password.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm using that particular card for a Jornada 720 H/PC. I'm using an older
firmware though, as I wanted to the card to be able to work with drivers
that are built into the J720's ROM -- so, in a "worst case" scenerio (J720
needs to be completetly reset while I'm away from home), it will always
maintain itself as a fully working "internet machine".

Anyway, I did a ton of experimenting with the card (trying out various
firmware/ACU combinations). One of things that I discovered was that none
of the ACU's, regardless of firmware, would do WPA. In order to get WPA
out of the card, I had to use WinXP's WPA supplicant.

I don't know if this holds true with the Apple ACU's, but wouldn't be
surprised if it does. Is there an WPA supplicant released by Apple that you
could try, similiar to Microsoft's general WPA supplicant for XP? That may
be worth a try first.

Have you been up and down Cisco's web site yet? You have to make an
account, which is a minor PITA, but Cisco's website does have a ton of great
resources -- although they are somewhat cluttered and schizophrenic.
