Users Report Faulty WPA In 2nd-Gen IPod Touch

Posted by kdawson on from the soft-touch dept.

jesuscash writes "It seems early adopters of the new iPod Touch are out of luck when they bring it home and attempt to connect it to their WPA/WPA2 secured network. Reading this Apple forum thread shows that many tests with different configurations show a no-go on WPA. Some of the last entries give the best clue, revealing a 'received deauthentication' error in their router logs. Apple has yet to respond."

    Mine works at two different locations that I set up.

  2. WPA on the iphone/ipod was a joke anyway. by Average · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A real geek has a long random key for WPA, and passes it around on a pen drive.

    Except the time I brought a Touch home from work for a while.

    Copy and paste? What do you mean, no copy and paste? One of the key "insanely great" f'ing innovations of the 1984 Macintosh, and it can't be done?

    Shook my head at that one.
