B130 and WPA
Has anybody been able to get the B130 with its onboard wireless card to work with anything except WEP? My Linksys wireless router supports WPA and WPA2, but if I set it at that my B130 can't find the network.
Does the Dell wireless 1370 support WPA or WPA2?
Thanks,
Tom

make sure you have the latest dell drivers. also get the latest WPA2 patch from microsoft if you want to run that. here's what dell says about the card:

I had the same issue, all the docimentation said the 1370 could use WPA2 but could never find that option, WPA however worked right out of the box. I did however finally get the option for WPA after I installed an update from Microsoft. I am now able to use WPA2 with no problems with my Linksys WRT54G.
