Setting up WPA for Wireless Desktop and Wireless Notebook
Cards that are NOT Manufactured by Ativa

If you do NOT have an Ativa Wireless G Notebook Card and it is not equipped
with WPA-enabled software, a file from Microsoft called

download.

The file that Microsoft has made available works only with

Windows XP. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.

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
