Network Key does not work
When using the windows utility with my NetGear WiFI Ma401 PCMCIA Adapter
Card and when I want to write the network password, I receive a message saying "The network password must be 40 bits or 104 bits according to your network configuration... " and I am not able to connect. I know that the Wifi router is using WPA-PSK. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, Robert Gauthier |

It sounds like your wireless adapter (in the computer) isn't capable of WPA-PSK. Check on Netgear's tech support site for your model card. If this is the case, you'll need to change the router's encryption to the older encryption of WEP.

Re: Network Key does not work
Thank you,
You are right. I download the WPA hotfix for Windows XP. The hotfix said that the MA401 card is not compatible.
