While the newer driver would/might have support for the WPA protocol, I believe Win2k might still need the "WPA Supplicant" download. (I used to use WPA encryption with a Win98SE notebook and had to download the WPA Supplicant for my D-Link DWL-G650 card from it's driver download site, "here". If you had mentioned the model of the Win2k wireless adapter, I could have checked to see if there is a similar download from it’s’ site.)
There was a free WPA Supplicant download from the WSC (Wireless Security Corp) website that was supposed to work well with Win2k... but McAfee has since taken them over and it's now listed as "Free WPA Software - Embedded in McAfee Wireless Security" ("click here"). I guess, as long as you don't register to use the McAfee Wireless Security part of the download... the use of the WPA Supplicant is free?
I don't remember why (CRS), but I ended up using the free T-Mobile connection manager (included a free WPA supplicant, at the time) with the Win98SE system, from this old link ("click here"). I don't know what the newer versions might include...
There was an “Funk’s Odyssey Client" commercial software... but they have since been acquired by Juniper Networks. The old link brings up "this page" and mentions that "Funk Software's Odyssey Client is now Juniper Networks Odyssey Access Client (OAC)".
Some universities might provide a free "AEGIS (Meetinghouse) Client for Windows" download, as noted by these download pages ("click here" or "here"). Your daughter's university might provide the same...
