Hi guys,
We're developing some software running on a Qtek 2020. This needs to connect to a corporate network wirelessly for updates, etc.
Our infrastructure partners have told us that the WiFi connection needs to be g and b devices will be blocked for security reasons.
We plan on using an XDA backpack with a Linksys WCF54G CF card to connect with. So far so good.
They've now told us that we'll have to use devices that are running WM2003SE as they want to use AES to further increase security. I understand that SE contains a WPA implementation with AES.
We have some issues with the software not working correctly with SE and also it doesn't look like there are any official ROM upgrades with SE (yet).
Searching these forums, I found out that the 1.72 ROM fo rthe XDAII has a WPA implementation included with it.
This leads me onto my questions :
1) Does anyone know if the 1.72 WPA implementation has the AES parts included? If so, we shouldn't have to upgrade to SE. (which we can't anyway)
2) Does the WCF54G support AES?
3) If the above isn't going to work, does anyone have any idea about another combination of WM2003 devices/backpacks/cards that will allow us to connect to an 802.11g network using AES security?
Thanks in advance.
