Boot Camp, WPA2 and Windows XP
Friday, January 4, 2008 at 11:11AM I'm hoping Google will index this and save the next poor sap who runs into this issue a few minutes of frustration.
If you install Windows XP SP2 on a Mac via Boot Camp and then attempt to connect to a WiFi network that uses WPA2 authentication, it will not work. XP SP2 does not have support for WPA2 without a hotfix which is found here.

I thought I had already done this... hopefully this will fix the issues I've been having. Didn't I call you about this months ago? =D
Google did indeed index it. Unfortunately how can I run the WGA authentication since I have no flipping wireless connection. I tried downloading the GenuineCheck.exe on my iBook and copying it to my iMac running XP, but it errors out. Apparently it requires an internet connection. This is BS. I bet those who pirated their copy of Windows aren't having this problem. They probably just torrented the WPA2 patch.
