Wireless G with WPA encryption on OS 9.2.2

[ptdebate]

Dear OS 9 stalwarts,

I want to be able to use OS 9 as the main operating system on my TiBook 1Ghz, and so far it's treating me well in every way except one: my PCMCIA wireless adapter, a Belkin F5D7010 802.11g (v1 Broadcom) card, will not connect to modern wireless networks with password encryption. It recognizes them with no problem, it's actually connecting that's the issue. I don't need to do extensive web browsing, but it would be nice to be able to look something up from time to time while writing. Does anyone know a solution for this? Am I stuck with exclusively WEP or non-encrypted networks?

Note: the Belkin card works just like an Airport card in Tiger (albeit with wireless G speeds), with plug-and-play connectivity.

Thanks again for all the help!

My son's original Airport card in his TiBook (Leopard, 10.5.8) will do WPA. But the encryption on my router has to be TKIP. If I set it to AES he cannot connect.

If you can change that setting in your router, may be worth a try.

OS 9 never had any drivers for WPA networks made publicly available.

Also, you could get a WiFi->Ethernet adaptor to maintain wireless capabilities on OS 9. Plus, its a bit faster than an AirPort card. Also, you are very lucky to have a 1GHz TiBook *mops drool*.

I got one of these to hook up to my TiBook or my Sawtooth running OS 9

Wireless-N Universal Media Connector

Works great, better than trying to hack a router for DDWRT and making it into a wireless bridge.
