I have an Dell Inspiron 600m with the Dell Wireless 1350 card (based on the Broadcom



4306/2050 chipset).

Is this chipset capable of full WPA2 operation? The drivers I have (3.120.27.0), seem to only allow you to select WPA, and I am having some issues with my router (a D-link DI624), which I don't know where to blame yet.



Any alternative drivers I should try, which would support WPA2 if these ones don't?



Thanks,



Iggy

I second Jeff on this one. It worked like a charm for me after running the MS update and then shutting off the Dell wireless software.
