MN-520 and WPA

According the info on the box, it's WPA certified by
www.wi-fi.org, and it specifically states "Automatic WEP
security and WPA", and "256-bit Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA)". However, I can't find the same info at
microsoft.com/hardware website, nor at wi-fi.org.

Anybody knows for sure that it's possible to enable WPA
with MN-520? It's critical for me to get this feature.

Thanks,

Kevin

Yes, it will work.

You'll need WinXP SP1, the WPA wireless rollup QFE, and the latest
drivers/firmware for the MN520.

Obviously, your router will also need to support WPA

I have installed all the items mentioned below, aside from
firmware for the MN-520 as there is none, and cannot
configure the card to access a WPA-protected network. Are
there some other files I need to download? The latest
rollup I could find to install was
WindowsXP-KB826942-x86-ENU.exe, dated Oct. 2003.

Thanks,
Michael
