Problem:
Do Belkin products support WPA?
Solution:
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers and
software that support it. At the time of this publication, a security patch
download is available, for free, from Microsoft. This patch works only with the
Windows XP operating system.
Download the patch here:

[keep hyperlink since this will be on CD]
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless 802.11g
Desktop or Notebook Network Card from the Belkin support site. Other
operating systems are not supported at this time. Microsoft’s patch only
supports devices with WPA-enabled drivers such as Belkin 802.11g products.
