    I wiped the stock XP Home SP3 and installed XP Pro SP2 on my AAO AOD150 via the usb flash drive method. The downloaded the latest Atheros XP WLAN drivers, but I can only access unsecured networks. I can't accesss my WPA secured home network, but I can access my neighbor's unsecure. I can access my own network again once I disable WPA to mimic my neighbors. I've made sure the security parameters matched exactly between my router and aao.

    The WLAN drivers included in the stock software worked perfectly before. Does the AOD150 use a different driver than the previous models? Would a package of the driver with the Atheros config utlity work better? Thanks in advance.

    Same problem with SP3. Mine is a AA1 110. When I put WPA, WEP or whatever, I can´t connect. It only works with a completely opened (and unsecure) wifi connection.

    Are you absolutely certain than when you enable encryption on your router that you are not also enabling the MAC access list?
