Okay, recently secured the router with a WPA key (more secure then WEP) but one of the cards has a problem. Its drivers don't have the ability to auto-detect wireless networks (have to manually type the SSID in), and it ONLY supports WEP passwords, even though it's a G card. I see no options for WPA in the drivers, and I can't use Windows XP's Wireless Zero Configuration because the drivers take control (says to refer to 3rd party program to control wi-fi card). The card is http://tekgems.com/Products/et-20128-net-wrub-2054i.htm and I tried uninstalling the drivers, but that just removes the card's software altogether. Can anyone help, or do I have to swich the router's password to WEP?

I'd ebay it and get an adapter that supports WPA .
Unless your in the country side link me . My closest neighbor is my Parents and the closest road is 800 feet away. I don't even run encryption on the AP in the house.

one way ao another they use common chips, open the card up read the chip name they use and look for driovers that suport WPA... there is no card that doents suport WPA.. thtas just a driver
