Dell Inspiron 8600 w/ Dell minipci 1450 Card and Linksys WRT54GC WinXP

Trying to get WPA2 Personal working between the two.

Dell states that the card can perform WPA2 but the

says WPA.

Currently WPA-PSK w/TKIP works fine but just trying to get WPA2 to work.

My first question is clarification on WPA2. Is WPA2 the same as WPA-PSK with AES encryption?

If I set it back to TKIP, all works.

Just searching for a solution if possible.

Already have this version. I also have the most recent version of the Dell

I put in the update and it started working but then the network connection would drop every 2 minutes.

I found out that the Dell software was causing the problem, shut it off and now all is well with WPA2-PSK.

I feel a little more secure now.

Thanks for the links
