Hi,
I am about to buy a PCMCIA card for Linux (I was recommended the
Ralink RT2500 chipset-based cards. But I have a small problem: my router at home uses WPA-TKIP encryption, is this natively supported by Linux, or will I need to download the
Linux WPA Supplicant.
If I do need to download the WPA Supplicant, will it be compatible with my Ralink-based card? According to the link posted above only the following chipsets work with the Supplicant:
Quote:
* Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3 (development snapshot/v0.2.x/v0.3.x; WPA and WPA2)
* Linuxant DriverLoader with Windows NDIS driver supporting WPA (WPA, but not WPA2)
* Agere Systems Inc. Linux Driver (Hermes-I/Hermes-II chipset) (WPA, but not WPA2)
* madwifi (Atheros ar521x)
* ATMEL AT76C5XXx
* Linux ndiswrapper
* Broadcom wl.o driver
* Intel ipw2100
* Intel ipw2200
* Wired Ethernet drivers
* BSD net80211 layer (e.g., Atheros driver) (FreeBSD 6-CURRENT)
* Windows NDIS drivers (Windows; at least XP, others not tested)

Does this mean if I buy a Ralink based card then I won't be able to use WPA? If this is the case, which card do you recommend I should buy (which is natively supported by Linux and can be used with WPA)? Thanks in advance,
