After a few days struggling with wifi, and cisco website support[real nightmare] my pcmcia working well with wep protected networks or open networsk withno protection.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to access my wpa network, in spite of setting "Use Other Configuration Application" in ACU [aironet configuration utylity]
I'm using strong protection : wpa2 personal protection with AES and pre shared key,
I found several driver packages on sicso website from 1.8, 1.7.01, to 1.0. None of them worsk with WPA2 Personal/AES
1.3 and above support wpa, but v. 1.4 has a few bugs, so I would not suggest to install it.
Maybe it would be possible to use it with WPA 2 Enterprise, but I don't have time to test it now.
I've installed v.1.8 and tested v.1.3
