Windows Xp Sp3 Wpa2 Patch Download
Microsoft says this about the KB893357 patch.
'In order to take advantage of WPA2, users will also need a wireless
LAN that includes the new standard and a Wi-Fi network adapter with the
processing power to handle AES encryption, Athwal says.
Many of the wireless LAN access points and client adapters being sold
today can use WPA2 and come with add-on software for client devices.'
So the question is, which adapters have the 'processing power'? Most
if not all adapters on the shelf say they support WPA security. But
that isn't true if one is looking for AES support. I installed this
patch and then installed the Netgear WG511v2 PCMCIA adapter and the
best I could get was TKIP while my router WRT54Gv3 supports both TKIP
and AES.
So what is the change this patch suppose to bring? Is it to replace
WPA drivers shipped with WPA capable cards?
Windows XP Service Pack 3 provides updated WPA2 support. Among the network-related features is an update to the XP implementation of the Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) wireless networking. WPA2 isn't a standard option in Windows XP (SP2), so you'll have to download the hotfix from Microsoft: The Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)/Wireless Provisioning Services Information Element (WPS IE) update for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 is available. This will run a small hotfix. The Windows XP SP3 is a major update for Windows XP that has more than 1,000 corrective features for the Microsoft software. The updates range from increased security to internet improvements, and more. The biggest updates included in the software pack are added native support for WPA2 for WiFi networks and NAP support. Configuring WPA2 for Windows XP Requirements for wireless using WPA2 on Windows XP with Service Pack 2 Your wireless card must support 802.1x, AES, and WPA2. The two patches for WPA2: KB893357, KB917021 cannot be installed in XP SP3. Install XP SP2 2. Download and install the SP3 patches using 'Windows Update'.

Without trying to spam my website, I have instructions up on how to use this Update and implement WPA2 on the front page of www.linksysinfo.org
I am able to use WPA2-AES between a WRT54GC, and a XPSP2 WPA2-updated laptop with WPA2 supported drivers for my Broadcom miniPCI card.
Enjoy! Now if the other hardware manufacturers would get on to supporting this standard, out since June 04
