You've got to be joking, MOST linksys cards do NOT support wpa under 9x in my 
experience. I have several B and G PCI and PCMCIA cards, most work under XP 
SP2 with WPA, some work under 2000 with the Funk Supplicant or WSC Guard (now 
owned by McAfee) , while none work under 98 in my limited testing.  Again 
some work under 2k with the paid funk supplicant.

Linksys does have a rebranded WSC service called Linksys Wireless Guard, but 
since it's based on WSC which only supports 2000 or later....

Only a handful of Netgear cards support WPA under 9x, there are a grand total 
of 2 listed here

I don't consider the ones that require the Funk supplicant as the Funk 
Software is almost the same price as the wifi card.

Not the machines I maintain, typically I get clients to upgrade to at least 
256mb.
