I disagree, you'll have problem with WPA if you are using a non
standard hardware/drivers. As we all know WPA standard has been
approved and ratified awhile ago. But there were hardwares that were
pre-built before the standard was approved, in this scenario
incompatible hardware/driver might arise. Newer firmwares and
matured drivers should be available by now. For older
hardwares/drivers it's a must that you upgrade to the latest
firmware/drivers to prevent inconsistensy. For XPSP2 users MS updated
their wireless clients(zero config) also, it is more choosy to what AP
it connects to.
