I am writing this post from a laptop running Fedora connected to my
router which has WPA2 enabled. And my friend next to me has his laptop
connected too. It runs on Ubuntu. We can easily connect to WPA2
enabled wireless networks.
It's not about linux not supporting WPA2, it depends upon what your
wireless driver supports. Find out what wireless card you have and pay
a visit to http://www.linuxwireless.com to check what are the
recommended drivers and what do those support. If those support WPA2
then it would be easy to connect to WPA2 enable wireless network using
NetworkManager.
I am not sure if XP supports WPA2. From what I have heard, one needs
XP SP3 to be able to use WPA2.
