Very Cool!! This looks good. I will let you know if it works
It seems the problem will be in obtaining the drivers for your
network adapter that has WPA2 support. If you know who the
manufacturer of the adapter is (such as Broadcom), you might
want to check their web site instead of HP's.
The following HP items are listed as having WPA2 support
however:
Embedded Client
- Broadcom 802.11a/b/g WLAN / BCM94309MP
- Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN / BCM94306MPLNA
- Broadcom 802.11a/b/g WLAN / BCM94309MP
Internal Card
- Wireless LAN PCI 802.11 a/b/g Adapter WN5401A
- Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g
- Broadcom 802.11g Minicard
- Broadcom 802.11a/g Minicard
Wireless Printers and Print Servers
- HP Photosmart 3310
- HP Officejet Pro K550dtwn
- HP Inkjet Color printer
Here is another web page dealing with WPA2:

Implement WPA2-Personal wireless security on a Windows XP
SP2-based computer
Published: August 29, 2005
By Barb Bowman, Windows XP Expert Zone Community Columnist
Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) is the latest version
of security for wireless networks. It's more secure than Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and easy to set up using the features
built into Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).
In addition to the update for Windows XP SP2, you need two
components:
- A router or access point that supports WPA2-Personal
- A wireless card with firmware and drivers that support
WPA2-Personal
A list of WPA2 certified products is available at the following
web location:
http://www.wi-fi.org/OpenSection/certified_products.asp?TID=2
[Select the WPA2 - Personal box on the left and click Submit.]
In this column, I explain how to:
- Verify or install the WPA2 upgrade for Windows XP SP2
- Find or upgrade a router or access point to support WPA2
- Install WPA2 driver support for a wireless notebook PC card
- Install new WPA2 drivers for internal notebook cards
- Use external USB wireless adapters that support WPA2
- Get help with WPA2
