Network Key does not workWhen using the windows utility with my NetGear WiFI Ma401 PCMCIA Adapter
Card and when I want to write the network password, I receive a message saying "The network password must be 40 bits or 104 bits according to your network configuration... " and I am not able to connect. I know that the Wifi router is using WPA-PSK. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, Robert Gauthier wrote:

Check on Netgear's tech support site for your model card. If this is the case, you'll need to change the router's encryption to the older encryption of WEP. Malke Thank you,
You are right. I download the WPA hotfix for Windows XP. The hotfix said that the MA401 card is not compatible.
