Hans, The big difference with Windows 2000 and XP is that Windows XP offer not only the 802.1X Client and EAP support but also a built-in WIFI client (Wireless Zero Config).
Windows 2000 does not have this WIFI client and it will never have it as Windows 2000 service pack 4 was the last... This means Windows 2000 relies on third party WIFI clients to do the job of associating, setting WEP keys and so forth. Funk offers a complete client, 802.1X, EAP and WIFI which means you have a single interface for all of these items. I have tested SecureW2 succesfully on Windows 2000 with Cisco 350 cards but it did require me to configure the ACU client.
