Windows XP in BootCamp wireless problems solved

Submitted by james on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 16:01

2 weeks ago I installed Bootcamp for the first time on my Macbook. This is one of the reason I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger.

After setting up BootCamp and installing Windows XP I noticed that my wireless wasn't working. When viewing the available wireless networks it show my network (SSID jrglasgow.com) but it was trying to find a certificate to log me in with. I know that I don't have any public key encryption set up on me network so I just wonder what the problem is and don't use windows for another couple of weeks.

Tonight I decided to take a look at it again and I stumble across this article pointing to a Windows XP hotfix.

Apparently there is a bug in the implementation of WPA2 in Windows XP and this hotfix is required.
