WPA-PSK & TKIP seems to be a complete disaster with Vista in
combination with certain older routers. I am a bit surprised that the
Linksys fails though. See the longer adjacent thread titled WPA-PSK.
WPA2 seems to work OK & the much less secure WEP will probably work
too.

Vista support of WPA & TKIP encryption is somewhat flakey. My 3com
doesn't even get past exchanging the secondary keys. Worth trying AES
encryption if you have the option.
It would be interesting to know what chipsets used on the failing
cards...
