Hi,
I am currently using 64-bit WEP and I clocked just north of 3000 kbps on the
CNet Bandwidth Meter (my ISP is Comcast in San Francisco).
I wonder how much faster this connection would be if I used WPA compression
instead.
Also, if I am using the generic Windows (I have XP Professional) drivers for
my Wi-fi NIC (Linksys WPC-11), for networks that have other types of
compression, I still get the message that the selected network has WEP
compression when I click the 'View Available Wireless Networks' option. Any
ideas?

PS - Regarding my earlier problem (thread - 'I have an interesting
problem'), it turns out that Windows XP does not accept a password for an
encrypted network. It will only accept a key.
