You are not specifying which version of WPA you are using. > Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. I am guessing you did download the appropriate firmware version following the documentation: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw&sektion=4 According to the pages, it does support WPA without a hitch. Double check your logs, and pay attention to any messages related to your controller, might be something earlier on the boot telling you if the firmware does not load right or something. I'll try out tomorrow on my 2200 controller (laptop). Cheers, Steph
