Microsoft has worked with many wireless vendors to embed the WPA driver update in the wireless

adapter driver. So, to update your Microsoft Windows wireless client, all you have to do is obtain

the new WPA/WPA2-compatible driver and install the driver.

Changes to Wireless Client Programs

Wireless client programs must be updated to permit the configuration of WPA/WPA2

authentication (and preshared key) and the new WPA/WPA2 encryption algorithms (TKIP and

AES).

To obtain the Microsoft WPA client program, visit the Microsoft Web site.

Note: The Microsoft WPA2 client is still in beta.
