We've been actively investigating WPA support, but we need to do some 
more work to figure out which devices we'd be able to support it on, so 
we don't have a real answer yet.  If we can support it at all, though, 
the Orinoco Gold is likely to be on the list.  If and when we have 
anything for people to test, we'll announce it on the 
wireless-beta-announce mailing list.
