Unfortunately we did not make Zero Configuration for Windows 2000. However,
SP4 and later include our 802.1x service. If you can procure a wireless
client that runs as a service you'll be up and working on Windows 2000.
Since it does not appear that the Linksys software will satisfy that
requirement though, I'm limited on the product recommendations.
