WPA-2 support left out
The manual for Microsoft's Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adaptor clearly states, "Your wireless networking adaptor support WPA-2, WPA, and WEP security." Unfortunately, the device does not support WPA-2 and that got rSYN plenty steamed. After tracking down the Xbox connectivity project manager, gamertag Delta4, he was told, "We are aware that WPA2 is not supported by the Xbox360 Wireless adapter and that is by design." rSyn updated his page today writing, "Three more polite messages from Delta4. WPA2 was removed late in development. Apparently it shouldn't be in any documentation or any websites."
For a $100 wireless adaptor I hope they update the software to support the feature. While it might not be the most widespread protocol, it does offer increased security. For the users that have a home network that relies on WPA-2, the option to revert down would be plenty frustrating. Other options include an wireless bridge that supports WPA-2 or a good old-fashioned LAN cable.
