What Driver do I need

i reformated my acer 5100 from vista to xp..i want to know whats the latest driver for ar5005g that will connect to wpa2 becuase i downloaded one before and it only worked with wep

 

You've already made a thread abut this. the driver isn't the issue.

If you've set your router up to wpa-psk you may need to configure the advanced settings within xp's connection ultility to connect to wpa-psk.

I tested this last night on an xp virtual machine and with my router, the only way i would get xp saying it was wep, was if it was a wep setup on my router. When i setup wpa-psk, xp would detect the wpa settings. (if i am wrong about this someone correct me).

It may be worth you posting this in the networks section. Or seeing if a mod can move it.

 

you are wrong i have a wpa2 set up and its detecting wep

 

Have you been into xp to changed the advanced settings for your network.

Open Neywork Connections



Right click Wireless network connection, the click properties



Then click the middle tab wireless networks



Then click on your network it automatically connects to and click properties



You should be able to fiddle with the settings here. Whether this helps you or not i don't know, If not I would strongly advise you post in the networks section of the forum, or get this thread or the other one moved.

 

i get to the third part and it has data ecryption(wep enabled)

 

network authentication (shared mode)

 

Does it allow you to change the Network Authentication to wpa-psk.

 

Basically you need to replicate the wpa-psk settings you have in your router here.
