From your other post: "Broadcom 802.11b WLAN"

That may or may not support WPA2 but you will have to confirm it by looking
at the adapter in Device Manager. You can also post your laptop exact model
number (may be on a sticker on the bottom of your laptop), we may be able to
help you find out if it supports WPA2 or not.

Hi John,

Looked at the post you're referring to. It's a typo. Should read
"Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN.

Btw, you said you bought the laptop last year. Was it a brand new laptop or
used (older model)? I find it hard to believe last year model does not have
802.11bg network adapter.

The laptop was purchased new 1/1/07. From what I can tell (thanks!),
the laptop supports WPA2-PSK. Not sure about the desktop. I was
mistaken about how new it is. My how the years fly by! It was built
9/30/04. :-/

(see my other post in this thread)
Thanks again,
Cheryl
