DELL Wireless 1370 Mini PCI Card without WPA support?!
Hi, i have a encryption problem with the 1370 PCI Card on an INSPIRON 1300 system. A supporter told me, that the adaptor does not support the WPA encryption, but a few days before, it runs. Not very good, meens with some qualified sense, but it worked.
My client bought the computer in January. What the h**l is going on with DELL, so that they sell a wireless lan adaptor, wich does not support the WPA standard?
If they know, that it is easy to hack the older WEP encryption. I`m really disappointed.
Is there any possibility to tell the adaptor to work with the WPA encryption?
Have anyone here experiences with it?!
Thanks a lot!!
PS: the system is located in germany

Have you tried checking the configuration of the adapter?
It seems to me, that if it ran fine a few days ago, but not now, that WPA is supported. I've never encountered a wireless card that offered "temporary WPA support".
Here's a sheet with the specifications:

I tried everything.
The card connect without any encryption to the router troublefree. But if I use to encrypt the connection it won´t.
I tried the windows xp utility (zero) an the latest tool from DELL, but both does´t work. I have no idea.
Maybe I should try to use the passphrase in HEX code? The pure phrase does not work.
I tried all the instructions & troubleshootings on the DELL website. I'm at my wits' end.
