Wmp 11 pci card work with WPA encription?

I just purchased a new 54G wireless access point since my new laptop (with Vista) doesn't seem to want to give "full connectivity" when using WEP security activated.
I now use WPA and the laptop hooks up fine to the new access point. My problem now, is all my other wireless computers have the older wmp 11 pci cards, and I don't see anywhere in the setup where I can select "WPA" security so they can see the new access point.
Is there a way that they can work with this new access point with WPA?

I have a WMP 11 2.7 - I know for a fact it supports WPA2 because I am connected to the net using it and WPA2 right now.
I knew it had to work cos I got it working under Ubuntu linux using this
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
very helpful guide.
Could not however get the damned thing to work on windows using any of the drivers from this site. So I went back and had a look at the linux guide and found a simple solution. Download this driver
http://sidulus.textdrive.com/bcmwl5sys.zip
Go to C:\windows\system32\drivers\bcmwl5.sys rename the driver there to bcmwl5.old.sys and unzip the new driver to that location. Restart. Hey-presto you should now be able to connect to WPA and WPA2 networks.
I think this will probably only work for the 2.7 version as that is a Broadcom chipset.
You know what really bugs me tho? I shouldn't have to be telling you to do all this, I shouldn't have to do it myself either. Why the hell does this card not connect to WPA with the drivers supplied on this site?!?!?

Wireless-Card doesn't not work with WPA/WPA2 but with WEP [Solved]

Hello I have a MacBook (late 2007) with a wireless-card from Broadcam, the card works with WEP and the classic configuration over rc.conf very well. But I can't get the card running with WPA and the net network-profiles.

AX will not work with WPA

My AX worked successfully with WPA security for several months, then stopped. I reset it, hard and soft, used factory default, but it would not work with WPA. Changed the security to WEP 128 and it worked fine. But now my Macbook Pro won't connect automatically. I have to run diagnostics to reconnect every time I started the computer.
Went back to WPA, now my Macbook Pro connects fine again, but the AX won't won't connect. Airport utility recognizes it when I reset it, but when I go thru the configuring process with Airport Utility, AX always fails on the last step, saying it could not join the network after it restarted.
Does this make any sense to anyone?

Henry,
Thank you for explaining Duane's approach. Immensely helpful! And, of course, in retrospect, makes complete sense. I'm sure there is a kb article on this somewhere....... ?
Which brings me to something in your post:
"do a hard reset of the Airport Express and use the Airport Setup Assistant to reconfigure it from scratch"
Am I missing something here because after installing Leopard, Airport Utility is the only Airport app I have in my Utilities Folder? I do remember Airport Setup Assistant being part of Tiger (but that disappeared as did the functionality of several other Airport apps (Airport Admin, etc.) after upgrading to Leopard.
So, IS there an equivalent in Leopard of the Airport Setup Assistant? Or do I use the Network app in Sys Prefs to Join an already existing network (going the route of a hard reset of AX)?
Usually, David Pogue's MM book on OS X is helpful in filling in the gaps, but his new Leopard book seems a bit sketchy this time on setting up a wireless network. I think this subject (setting up a wireless network, etc.) could almost get a MM of it's own!
If I may, can I address a related issue? Previously, in setting up the AEBS and AX to work together you do end up with what LOOKS like TWO networks (both have their own Apple network numbers and letters) even though they are working in tandem as 1 network, right?
I bought the AX to extend the range of my network because it seemed the signal from the AEBS was not quite strong enough. I set it up to be a "remote" to the AEBS's "main." I also use the AX to stream iTunes to my living room's sound system.
Again, many thanks for your help.

E70 doesn't work with WPA/WPA2!

Hello, ppl!
Does anybody know if there is any chance that E70 will work with WPA/WPA2 encryption? Found it is not working with my home router configured to WPA but works with WEP. However WEP isn't strong protection and I'd prefer WPA. I just took phone to see it's capabilities before buying but lack of WPA would stop me from purchase - WM devices never had such trouble
'd like to hear from someone who do really know if this device will ever work with WPA and maybe it could do now.
PS. have installed latest firmwares to the router and mobile phone.

Can a PC ATI X1600 XT AGP card work with my MDD..

Can a PC ATI X1600 XT AGP card work with my MDD?

I have a friend that made the mistake of buying a (new) non-Mac edition ATI card. Not the card you've specified, this was a few years ago, but everything worked for him, with OSX. His biggest issue was the loss of the ADC connection on the card, getting DVI connectors only instead. That means a trip to Apple to get an ADC-DVI converter, mine was about £100 for my second display. My friend payed slightly less. At the end of the day, it would have been cheaper for him to pay the £30 extra for the Mac edition.

Will an onboard graphic card work with the lates version of photoshop or do I have to have a dedicated garphic card

Most likely you should be fine. Some of the early i7s might not support it (did the first i7 core have integrated GPU?), but any of the last couple are fine. The nice thing is, that you can always add an aftermarket GPU if you need to, so give it a shot.
I have a Haswell i7 (4770k) in my desktop PC, and it's more than enough. I did a lot of research when I built my PC and my conclusion at the time was that a GPU doesn't offer a sizable performance boost unless you buy a really nice GPU ($400+). The integrated GPU can run all the functions of CS6.
My laptop is an older i5. Not sure which, but I think Sandy Bridge. I can notice the difference in process times between the integrated GPU and discrete (AMD). But only on certain heavy filters and when working with big composites (~2 gb files). But that's an i5 and and older one. That said, the integrated GPU is far more stable, so I usually just put up the lag instead of having the AMD GPU crash my computer.

Powerbook 1400 do any wireless PC cards work with it?

Hi I have a Powerbook 1400 (most of you know that by now!) anyway I just got it more RAM (it now has a total of 48MB) and installed OS 9.1. Ive been seeing wireless PC Cards on eBay real cheap for only 10 bucks Buy it Now. Will these cards work with this powerbook? And is it true that the PB 1400 only supports 16bit PC cards?
Thanks

Apple Rules
Yes. It is true that the 1400s are 16-bit NuBus machines. Internally, they lack any means of 32-bit translation, and it cannot be added. Their only means of 'wireless' communication is through the IR port, and that is not easily adapted to your purpose. They are capable of ethernet 'wired' communication through an internal NIC, or a NIC PC card in a PCMCIA slot. And that is it.

Will ATI Radeon HD 5800 card work with Premier Pro CS5 Mercury engine?

Hi There:
I've been using Premeier Elements 7 for the last 2 years and am about to buy Premeier Pro CS5. But having read the video card requirements I'm confused.
Will my video card work with PP CS5 and the Mercury playback engine? My card is the ATI Radeon HD 5800 with 1 gig memory?
The dealer specifically sold me that 18 months ago so I would be able to move to Premiere Pro with no problem. I have an Intel Core 17 with 10 gigs of ram and a great ASUS motherboard.
Thanks,
Rudy

Hi Harm:
Thanks for the reply. I checked my RAM and in fact it is 12 gigs. I got it put in 18 months ago when I bought the system. I had to use Windows XP back then. Anyway, I now need to change to Windows 7 and Premiere Pro.
I had no idea back then that I was buy the wrong video card for Premiere Pro.
I am not familiar with the terms you and the other two respondants have used in your replies, and I have no idea what it means that my system will run 10 times slower than if I had a NVIDIA, whatever it means it sounds bad. Which is really too bad because I spent a small fortune buying one of the fastest card available at the time.
What do you suggest I now do?
1) Just use my system as is? It sounds like my performance will be terrible, so should I really go this route? I will be editing MPG2 codec from a Canon XF100 shot at 50 mbps.
2) Should I try to sell off my ATI card and buy one of the recommended cards?
3) Should I just go to the Sony Vega Pro systems?
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rudy

How to simutaneously use 2 PCI cards, one with traditional DAQ, the other with DAQmx?

Hi,
I am currently trying to debug a system that used to work.. but sadly isnt anymore
A single computer contains 2 PCI cards (6110 & 6036E). The 6110 card is controlled by a fairly old software, programmed in labview, and hence, using Traditional NI-DAQ. The 6036e card is controlled by a more recent soft, programmed in LV as well but using DAQmx.
the AI/AO of the 6110 card is only momentarily used (20 sec consecutively, every minute) while the 6036E card is continuously receiving and sending data on its AI/AO.
Now the problem: the program that control the 6036E card freezes every time that the old prog access the 6110 card.. and then it works again perfectly until the next time that the 6110 card is used.
So my question: how can I make those 2 cards work simultaneously?
I dont think that it is because of the software nor because of the computer lack of memory/CPU if it used to work in the past. It might be about a wrong configuration of cards in the MAX but I couldnt find anything wrong there (no problem when accessing AI/AO of both cards through "test panel")
Thank you very much for you help.

That's what bugs me. The only thing that those 2 cards share is an AO of the 6110 connected to an AI of the 6036.
For the rest, nothing is common. The 1st program only deal with device1, while the 2nd prog only access dev2. There shouldnt be any problem and everything is working fine separately. Hence, why I was wondering if the traditional daq and daqmx might conflict on a same computer.
I just cant find out why the 2nd program controling the daqmx card just freeze everytime the 1st program access the traditional card. It actually doesnt freeze completly but becomes soooo slow, with about only 2 iterations of the main while loop during those 15-20 sec (instead of the normal 3-4000 iterations during such a period).
The computer specs are a 2.2ghz proc for 1G of ram and running XP, so it should be ok.. even though the computer does slow a bit down when the 1st prog access the traditional card.

Putting a modem in Beige's pci slot work with Tiger?

Hi,
My Beige desktop has Tiger running stably (xpostfacto). Can I pull a pci card dial up telephone modem from a windows pc and use it in my mac?
Special drivers needed?
Thanks,
Louis
Beige DT Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Same answer (almost) as for the B&W:
There is not nor AFAIK has there ever been a PCI modem that worked with Macs. You need an Apple internal modem or an external modem. Since the Beige has built in serial prts, no adapter is needed to use an external serial modem. You could also use an airport base station as these have modems built in as well.

Will my new sound card work with windows 7 64 bit??

I had creative sound blaster xtreme music, it use the old pci port. It has been giving problems ever since i got a new computer with windows 7 and a gigabyte mother board. The computer will sometimes not detect the car, when it does i will work for a while then a beeping sound plays, or sometimes i wont have sound at all when it is detected. Anyway, I am upgrading to the PCI-express xfi champion card. Is this card going to work with windows? 7 and not give me though problems?
Computer detais:
i7 930
Gigabyte - UD7
Radeon HD-5870

It will work,as I have one on Win 7 x64. Without problems is another story.
There are plenty of posts about this card.Have a look around.

AverMedia HD PCIe - Not working with FMLE 3.1 or 3.2 - Freezes!!

Hi,
Recently bought AverMedid HD H272 PCIe Hybrid HDMI capture card - it does not work with Flash Media Encoder 3.1 or 3.2 - It just freezes the FME!
Had a look around on the net and it seems it works fine with FME 2.5 - works perfectly in fact!
What could be the problem? FMLE 3.1 or 3.2 JUST FREEZE! why? I have to restart to the computer and then it works again?
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Could you please send the fmle session log file?
When does it freeze - when you select the card or when you start streaming?

Pcie card compatability with mac pro

I started getting regular Kernel Panics after installing a PCIe card (in slot 3) to connect my 750gb seagate pro drive to my mac pro via eSATA (the specs for the PCIe card are below).
http://www.avlab.com.tw/sata/10060109000bx.htm
I have uninstalled the drivers and my mac has stopped crashing. My problem is that since the silgate 3132 driver is (im told) pretty much universal for running this kind of pcie card, how can I be sure that if I purchase another card it won't start causing kernel panics again?
Any help much appreciated,
Henry

I know im being stupid (sorry) but what do you mean by using up all four of the drive slots in the mp?
I inserted a pcie card in pcie slot 3 because there are no external esata ports on my macpro and i needed one to connect an esata drive.
with regards to the pcie card itself i've pretty much given up on making it work as from looking at their site whilst they claim mac compatability it seems to have been something of an afterthought.
my problem is that im worried any pcie esata card i buy will conflict with my mac because i've been told that they mostly use the same generic si3132 drivers which caused the kernel panic.
