Dell PDA with WPA2 ?

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

My bosses Dell PDA is running Windows Mobile 2003 second edition.
He'd like to use it on our office Cisco access points, which are
running WPA2. (pre-shared key)

Is there a hotfix available for Windows Mobile, like there is for XP
(on service pack 2) ? I've had a look, but can't one just yet.

Thanks in advance.

Hello David, thanks for the reply.

My line of thinking was, the model of the PDA didn't matter, as it's
the Windows mobile o/s that manages the wireless. Hence, I asked if
you could get a hotfix, like you can for XP. Although WPA2 does its
AES encryption on h/w, so I wonder if I need to find out if the
integrated Wi-Fi card is WPA2 ready ?

The PDA is an X30.

Cheers, Stuart.

Well, you're definitely in line to become the next boss. You're lack
of specific model number is a clue that you're management material.
Keep up the obscurity, vagueness, and lack of specifics and you'll be
running the company. However, until that happens, little details like
the Dell PDA model number are required.

There are 5 optional authentication options that can be used with
Cisco WPA2 encryption. Be careful as some clients don't support all
of them.

Interesting that Windows Mobile is implemented per-device.

Thank-you for the useful advice.
