Thanks CW. I have indications that it is talking to the Base Station
but that the card does not support the WPA. If it is a real question I
could take it up to my Son-in-law's (he has the original base
station) and test it there. Since it came from CompUSA's warehouse I
bet it doesn't support WPA. If I find one it wll cost $70 or $80.
