Microsoft says this about the KB893357 patch.
'In order to take advantage of WPA2, users will also need a wireless
LAN that includes the new standard and a Wi-Fi network adapter with the
processing power to handle AES encryption, Athwal says.
Many of the wireless LAN access points and client adapters being sold
today can use WPA2 and come with add-on software for client devices.'
So the question is, which adapters have the 'processing power'? Most
if not all adapters on the shelf say they support WPA security. But
that isn't true if one is looking for AES support. I installed this
patch and then installed the Netgear WG511v2 PCMCIA adapter and the
best I could get was TKIP while my router WRT54Gv3 supports both TKIP
and AES.
So what is the change this patch suppose to bring? Is it to replace
WPA drivers shipped with WPA capable cards?
