DLink DWLG510 & WPA

Does anyone know how to get D-Link DWLG510 cards to work properly with a WPA
key? I've got several machines on my home net, some wired, some wireless. Two
wireless units are Macs, with built-in AirPort Extreme (11g, that is.)
Another is a WinBox with a Linksys card, also 11g. They connect just fine
using WPA. However, two others have D-Link DWLG510s... and nothing I do makes
those units connect. It's not that the network itself has a problem, as the
other three machines work, and when my brother brings his Dell laptop with
built-in wireless here it works as well. It's not that there's a problem with
the location; physically moving the machines in question makes no difference.
I swapped the Linksys card with one of the D-Links, and the problem followed
the D-Link, so it's not a problem with the machines the cards are in. If I
set the router to use WEP or turn off security altogether, I can connect with
the D-Links, no problem. I really don't want to use WEP or to have an open
network... Is there a solution, short of running additional cables or getting
two more Linksys cards?

The router is an AirPort Extreme base station.

Hi
There is no widely known problem with the DWLG510. D-Link suggests WinXP SP2
and WZC to use with the card with WPA. If loading the card's drivers loads
the D-Link utility try to unload the D-Link Utility. Otherwise contact
D-Link support. There is few versions of the card might be that they know
something about your version.

I'm running this card on WPA with a 63-digit random ascii key on a W2000
computer.
I use the D-Link utility to connect, not WZC.

I suggest, you delete all entries, which you may have now, rename or create
your SSID and try a different key.
Start with a shorter key (under 20) and work your way up.

Under WPA, use PSK TKIP (none of the other options work).

Good luck.
