Funny thing. I have an IBM ThinkPad R31 notebook that came with WiFi. The original 802.11b card had WPA support in Linux, but not Windows. I then upgraded to a b/g card. Now Windows will support WPA, but not WPA2 that Linux on that same computer supports. In order to get WPA2 in XP, I have to download an update from MS, but getting that update requires installing "Windows Genuine Advantage" spyware. So, this computer will only be doing WPA on the rare occasions I use Windows with it, while Linux will be WPA2. My Nokia N800 also does WPA2. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

He is afraid his h4xx0r software downloaded from pirate bay will fail the genuine advantage test. :P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually, that might come in handy as I could use it to convince my boss to buy me a new computer, while XP is still available. ;-) Of course that new computer would also have enough disk space for installing Linux. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I just don't trust Microsoft. Why do they have to keep "proving" the software on the computer is genuine? -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
