I have the exact setup that you're referring to (DI-624 with DWL-G650
PCMCIA Card) and also have noticed that the WPA-PSK appears not to
retain the settings. I enabled WPA-PSK on the DI-624, and then
configured the client with the same key. I do get connected and can
use the connection, but if I go back and look at the PC Card setup,
the WPA-PSK key is unchecked.
Not knowing if this meant that WPA-PSK wasn't working or that the UI
does that on purpose, I decided to put in a different WPA-PSK password
than that on the 624. It appeared to connect but then I couldn't
actually use the connection.
I'm wondering if this is done for security reasons, i.e. to make it
more difficult for someone doing a brute force attack on the WPA-PSK
Passphrase to determine if they're really connected or not.
Unfortunately don't happen to have another system with wireless card
in order to try to snoop the connection to see if it is really WPA
encrypted or not, but I suspect that it is based on the above
experiment.
