Mobility Site - View Single Post - WPA-PSK backward compatability with Dell TrueMobile 1180 802.11b WiFi card help need

Im right now residing at a dorm where the only WiFi access point in use is a D-Link DWL-2100AP. The admins have configured a WPA-PSK setup and being me, I only have got my Dell Axim PocketPC with me (WM2003 OS, Dell TrueMobile 1180 802.11b WiFi card).

Apparently Im told that the WPA-PSK key is not compatible with 802.11b products. Is this true? Or is there a 3rd party app I can use to accept the WPA-PSK key?

If you've got a 802.11g access point with WPA-PSK setup and have a 802.11b card (Desktops and laptops) and have gotten things to work smoothly, ps reply to this thread as to which OS you're using and whether you're using an 3rd party app.
