I use WPA-PSK on my ipaq 5550 or should I say I used to. I had to do a
hard reset last Friday and now the WPA option is no longer available.
I have reloaded all three files listed below in the order below and I
still cannot get WPA back, I spent 2.5 hours on line with HP active
chat this afternoon and they were unable to help.
One point of interest, My Ipaq would not do the firmware upgrade again
(it did say I had the version I was trying to load over the top
anyway) as it said that I did not have the driver loaded, yet I have
loaded the driver 4 or 5 times now and overwritten the previous one. I
have done 5 hard resets after the upgrades and still no WPA. Does
anyone have any suggestions as I cannot access my networtk without
WPA, thanks.
