There was something about WPA support in the driver, but I haven't
gotten it to work. The only WPA that works for me is on my Siemens
TC4000 using SuSE 10.0 with an Intel Chipset. I haven't gotten it to
work with debian on my old Fujitsu Biblo Loox T93C where I replaced
the Mini-PCI b card with an Intel g card. It also does not work with
my PSP or my nokia 770. So I don't know what the problem with WPA is
and can only say that the linksys card doesn't work for me with WPA.
