WPA on Windows 2000

Hi All,

I was wondering if any of you have any experience getting WPA to work
on Windows 2000.  Microsoft says WPA isn't supported on anything
except WinXP SP1+ and Win Server 2003, but I found a utility from
McAfee that supposedly enables WPA on older Microsoft operating
systems:

However, when I install this utility, it says my wireless card (D-Link
DWL-520 Rev. D) doesn't support WPA authentication.  It suggests
looking for an updated driver, but I'm using the most recent driver
from D-Link.  What's even stranger is this same card with the same
driver works great with WPA networks under Windows XP!

It wouldn't be a huge issue to upgrade to XP, but I'd rather keep 2000
if possible.  Any suggestions?
