Configuring WPA Security with RADIUS
Not all wireless adapters support WPA and WPA2. Client software is required on the client:
• Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or above do include the client software
that supports WPA. The wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
• Service Pack 3 does not include the client software that supports WPA2. Make sure your client
card supports WPA2. The wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA2.
Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter; WPA client software for instructions
on configuring WPA settings; WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2
settings.
