(Sorry for the profanity. I'm in a bit of a mood and I feel like I need to get my point across.)
Yes, this card supports WPA2.
Yes, this is SP3. So the SP2 WPA2 patch isn't relevant, here.
Yes, I have looked around the internet, and can only find solutions for SP1/2, or irrelevant bullshit.
Literally any other OS I have tried works, except Windows XP, with my network connection. I don't maintain it and I live in a property that is shared accommodation, so it's not my business to go changing the settings on other people, nor do I really want to spend 25 quid on a wifi extender when I'm right underneath the bloody thing.
I get the "out of range" error when trying to connect. Most of the networks I can pick up, including the wifi that one of the residents actually installed for himself, come up 'Security enabled wireless network (WPA2)' so it's clear this card supports WPA2, but the one I actually want to bloody connect to, which does work under Debian - which somehow manages to run poorly on an N270 despite being well, Debian - just says... 'Security enabled wireless network'. It doesn't know that it's WPA2.
My best guess is that it's too new of a router and it's sending out some sort of 'new' WPA2 encryption only supported by Vista+ based on a different kind of crypto or something, but I could be wrong, could just be a hardware/driver level issue, but then again if every other OS supports it and all my other devices including a PS3 and even the bloody Wii support it, then it's clearly XP's problem.
Before I go bloody mental or something, is there any hope for this? Has anyone, ANYONE, had this same issue and managed to sort it out, within the past eight years or so, since it seems like I can't find anything useful about this problem?
(The driver version is the last version released which is from 2013, 10.something.)
