What else do I need to use WPA?
To utilize WPA, you will need a WPA-compliant card and access to a WPA-
enabled network.
Using WPA with Communication Manager
Networks that are encrypted with WPA will be noted on the network list.
The type of encryption (WPA, WPA-PSK, etc) will also be noted. For WPA
encrypted networks, you will also need to utilize an 802.1x Authentication
mode to access the network, for a Public Shared Key (PSK) encrypted
network, you will have to enter an encryption key as you would for a WEP
encrypted network.
To learn how to connect to a WPA-enabled network, see How to Access an
Encrypted Network

What is a closed network?
Closed networks are private networks that do not choose to broadcast their
existence. Such a network will not appear in the list of available networks
unless it is specifically configured as a Network Profile. Cingular
Communication Manager can detect when there are closed networks
present simply because it "sees" unidentified broadcasts in the Wi-Fi
frequency band. When this happens, it will display the word *closed* in the
Wi-Fi networks list.
However, Communication Manager cannot detect the actual name of or
establish a connection to a closed network unless you create a profile for
that network. For more information, see the following:
