Is WPA secure enough?

Is Wi-Fi Protected Access secure enough? How long does it take for a
determined hacker to break in WPA (WEP = about 1~2 weeks)? How to configure
WPA?

I use a Belkin Gateway/Router/Access Point (F5D7230-4) and Belkin PC Adapter
(F5D7010) -- both 54G. Belkin made available last week, a 54G compliant
firmware patch which supports WPA and requires the latest WinXP WPA update.
The adapter comes with its own driver. In order to use WPA, Wireless Zero
Configuration must be enabled. If you don't want to usa WPA, WZC should be
disabled.

How about AP-to-AP mode? Do I need Windows drivers?

I don't know for sure but I would have to say yes since Belkin's instruction
states that the Windows' WPA update is required to enable WPA.

Congratulations! I work with older gear and I expect that the vendors will
get around to updates for it eventually, but it hasn't happened yet.
