Have you tried the hostap stuff? that does WPA2.

http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/


http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/07/10/1729226

I tried SLED recently because the NHS is thinking of offering it as a choice
along with/instead of WinXP for laptops & on a compaq (nc6000) laptop
everything worked including WPA.....as to whether it was WPA or WPA2 I can't
remember off the top of my head but this article:

Seems to say that WPA2 is supported.

http://www.techworld.com/opsys/reviews/index.cfm?reviewID=414&pagtype=samechan

"Wireless networking was similarly painless. After I had selected my access
point from a convenient GUI menu, SLED prompted me for my network passphrase
and I was online, my connection secured with full WPA2 encryption."


So possibly d/l sled & give it a go.

& if you have a 3d capable vid chip in your lappie you can even give the
xgl stuff a spin (literally) <G>

Right now it is fairly obvious (esp when looking at Unbuntu & SLED that linux
is entering the virtuos circle phase of more users, more h/w support, better
user experience, more users.

BTW.... I was chatting with a bod wrt my surprise at everything on the nc6k
lappie working w/o me doing a thing & his rejoinder was wrt all lappies being
made in taiwan/china & they are rapidly going for linux as a way if saying
their are WTO compliant.


e.g.

http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33284

"MARKET RESEARCH FIRM iSuppli issued a report which demonstrated that a massive
82.6 per cent of PC notebooks are made in Shanghai.

The ODMs (original design manufacturers) dominating the market are largely
Taiwanese firms, but they have steadily moved their production to mainland
China over the last years.

And if you want a notebook that's got that little bit extra you'll be
disappointed. Isuppli reckons that notebook PCs have become more standardised
than ever."

Now put that together wth the PRC dmeand for linux &

http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=33454

"The Central Trust of China (Taiwan) has mandated for the first time that all
desktop computers purchased from now on must be Linux-compatible, demonstrating
the government's desire to widen the nation's usage of open source software.
Central Trust is in charge of purchasing computers and other equipment for
government agencies and schools.

About 120,000 desktops will be procured by the Central Trust under this new
guideline.

"In the past, some of the procured computers did not support Linux, therefore
this new mandate signifies the government's push to reduce reliance on the
Windows operating system," Mike Lin, a consultant at the Taipei Computer
Association said.

Thirty-three desktop models from hardware vendors including Acer, Asustek,
Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard Taiwan, were certified Linux-compatible, while four
models each from Gigabyte Technology and Synnex Technology International were
still under evaluation, according to the newspaper report.

In the legislative session held late last year, legislators reached an
additional consensus that there should be a 25 percent cut of procurement
budget on Microsoft's products across all government agencies. In response,
Microsoft Taiwan Corp yesterday said that it respected the government's
decision for the Linux inclusion into desktops, as long as the market is
competing on a fair ground."


& it's all good for linux on lappies....
