Thanks, but in the case of the WUSB11 2.8 I'm pretty certain that the
WPA driver isn't supported in anything except for WinXP - I've even
tried ndiswrapper & also can't get it to work in Win2KP. The release
notes for the driver show:

But if Devon can provide what card & chipset he is using we might be
able to get him up and running.
