Configuring WPA-PSK

Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client.
Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or above include the client software that
supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions
on configuring WPA settings.
