Hi, Apologies if this is a silly question, but I can't seem to find anything on M$oft's site about it....Is it possible for a Win 98 (SE) machine to fully participate in a WPA-enabled network? I guess this means are there WPA supplicants & compatible adaptors for Win 98?

Thanks, GAM

Supposedly, the Odyssey client

will add WPA, however, it costs US$50. Both Netgear and Linksys (respectively) *say* their WG511 and WPG54G support WPA and their drivers are 98SE compatible. However, I can only get WEP to work under 98 with any of their driver sets with either of those cards.
