WPA compatibility between manufacturers.

If I have a WAP set up for WPA PSK, is it reasonable to expect different
manufacturers of Wireless LAN cards to be fully compatible with that WAP ?

I ask the question because I have been trying out one of the Edimax WAPs,
and yes I realise they are cheap.

A couple of Notebooks equipped with Intel Pro Wireless Mini PCI cards
connect OK and seem stable.

If I use Edimax own Wireless cards including latest drivers (I have tried
PCI and USB cards) then either they initially connect but drop after
20mins or so, or they wont connect at all. If everything is set for WEP
they are OK.

Anyone seen anything similar ?

Is it likely that the WAP that may not be implementing WPA PSK correctly
or is the problem more likely to be the drivers for the wireless cards ?


Stuart.
