WPA via MN-710 USB Wireless Adaptor

I installed a MN-710 wireless adapter. It works fine on
unencrypted stuff. The specs say WPA encryption is
supported but I can not find any instructions on how to
enter the encryption keys. Any suggestions would be
helpful.
Thanks,
Jon

if you are using XP (which is the only supported OS for WPA) do NOT use the
BNU software. use Windows XPs built in wireless zero configuration

I am using win2000 pro not XP. I have a LINKSYS adaptor that works fine with
win2000pro and WPA.
Thanks for your suggestion

The software provided by Microsoft for the MN-710 does not support WPA.

You will need to either upgrade to XP or get a third party software to
do that.
