dell 1450 256bit WEP encryption??

Is there any way to get this card to use 256bit encryption?

Can this card be upgraded to use 256bit encryption?

I think it's rather stupid if it can't use 256bit encryption.

    Few devices support 256-bit WEP, including Windows XP. 

     

    If you're concerned about security over wireless, you should be using WPA anyway - much more secure than any version of WEP.  256-bit WEP is just as simple to crack as 64 bit - it just takes a few more guesses.

    No need to be a troll. If a router supports 256bit encryption than it's not too hard to ask for the dell 1450 card to have 256bit encryption.

    Feel free to disregard this thread as you obviously do not have the capacity to understand a question for answers and a question for your opinion.

    In case you do not understand. I'm not asking for your opinion.

    It's my opinion that I can post whatever I feel like on this thread.  It's my opinion that Dell's doing the right thing by ignoring a dead non-standard and supporting a much more effective accepted standard.
     
    Don't like it?  My opinion is that I don't really care.  Get over yourself.

    Once again. Your invalued opinion is your own and is of your own right.

    I didn't know you were Dell nor did they need your approval.

    Right. Get over yourself. You are unimportant and your opinions are worthless.
