In most cases, you will need to upgrade and install your wireless client utility software and drivers 
before using WPA. Check with your wireless adapter manufacturer for utility software and driver 
updates as necessary. Follow their specific instructions to configure your wireless client for WPA. 
 
Asanté supports WPA on these FriendlyNET wireless adapters: 

•  AeroLAN AL5410-G 

Wireless: 802.11g 
WPA: No 

•  AeroLAN AL5403-XG 

Wireless: 802.11g 
WPA: Yes (Windows XP, Mac OS X) 

•  AeroLAN AL1611 

Wireless: 802.11b 
WPA: Yes (Windows XP) 

If you are planning to use Windows XP’s native wireless utility and WPA, download the patch 
from Microsoft: 

http://support.microsoft.com

. Be sure that you’re running with Service Pack 1 

(SP1). If your wireless adapter’s driver already supports WPA, you may not need to install 
Microsoft’s patch. However, by installing the Microsoft patch, many wireless adapters can use the 
native Windows XP wireless utility to configure WPA. Check with your wireless adapter 
manufacturer about using the native Windows XP wireless utility with your adapter. 
 

 

 
Note: Microsoft does not provide support for WPA on earlier versions of Windows (e.g., Windows 
98, 95 and NT).
