OAC FIPS Edition requires a modified driver to enable the wireless adapter to run 802.11i in FIPS mode. Juniper Networks supports FIPS-compliant modified drivers for Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP software only. No support for FIPS-compliant modified drivers is available for Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Mobile, or Windows CE-based devices. We are currently verifying compatibility with a number of wireless adapters.

No special adapter or driver requirements are needed to run xSec in FIPS mode.
No FIPS-compliant network interface card (NIC) drivers are currently available for Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Mobile, or Windows CE software. Please use xSec for encryption with the Windows Vista operating system, and Windows Mobile or Windows CE software.
