Setting up WPA for Wireless Adapters that are not
Manufactured by Belkin
For WPA wireless desktop and wireless notebook cards and adapters
that are NOT manufactured by Belkin, which are not equipped with
WPA-enabled software, a free download from Microsoft called "Windows
XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected Access" is available.
Please Note:
The download that Microsoft has made available works ONLY
with Windows XP. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.
Important:
You also need to ensure that the wireless card manufacturer
supports WPA and that you have downloaded and installed the latest
driver from their support site.
Supported Operating Systems:
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
Setting up Windows XP Wireless Network Utility to use

Under Windows XP, click "Start > Control Panel > Network Connections".
2.
Right-click on "Wireless Network Connection" and select "Properties".

Clicking the "Configure" button will allow you to choose your
network authentication type.
