OS: Windows XP Pro SP3
NIC: Netgear Super-G Wireless PCI Adapter WG311T
NIC Driver: 4.1.2.150 (most recent driver from Netgear website)
Router: Linksys WRT54GL v1.1
Router Firmware Version: v4.30.12 (most recent firmware from Linksys website)

If I enable any type of security on my router, I cannot connect to my wireless network. I'm copying and pasting the security key straight from my router's setup page to Netgear software, so I know the key is correct and not being mistyped.

As soon as I disable security on the router, I can connect. I obviously want to use security, WPA2 if possible. I bought this NIC yesterday because it specifically said on the box that it supported Win XP and WPA2.

I'm running service pack 3 for XP. Everything I've read online says that SP3 includes support for WPA2, so I should be good to go. Something obviously isn't working though.

Any ideas? Thanks,
-Dustin
