</div>everything that I found on the Internet so far, was just talking about<br>
PSK anyway. So either with WPA/RSN with PSK or ignore WPS. Sounds good<br>
enough for me.<br>
<br>
Initial testing with some of the WPS capable access points here also<br>
reveals that they don't really bother to update the IE correctly.<br>
<br>
So telling if WPS is actually usable or if WPA/RSN has been manually<br>
configured is kinda hard.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I thought updating the IE was part of the spec and ap's that don't can't pass certification--but it's been a while and I'm not sure I read the final version. Perhaps it got moved to a manual step (i.e. you manually bring the ap out of this mode).</div>
