Did 10.4.4 break WPA support?

I just bought a D-Link DGL-4300 wireless 108G router. All the Windows-based laptops I have in my home connect flawlessly to the router via WPA2-AES Pre-Key. The only way I can get my powerbook to connect wirelessly to the router is via WEP, which is unacceptable due to its security risks.

Does anyone know whether 10.4.4 broke the WPA/WPA2 support in Tiger or if I am doing something wrong? I would greatly appreciate all the help I can get with this.

Thank you for your time.

My ibook uses OSX 10.4.4 and connects without a problem to WPA and WPA2 networks.

I would suggest you delete all references to your wifi network in your keychain utility.

Then remove the wifi network if setup in your list of preferred networks in your airport network preferneces.

Also scan the area with a sniffer such as kismac to see if there are no other wireless networks using the same chanel as you are thus creating a conflict.

Then try reconnection to your wpa2 network.
