Why doesn't my USB wireless adaptor support WPA2-PSK?![]()
D-Link DWA-120: http://www.dlink.com.au/Products.aspx?Sec=1&Sub1=11&Sub2=19&PID=376
I've no problem with WEP. There's no WPA2 option for it to create a new ad hoc network.![]()

WPA2 is only supported in 802.11N standard as far as I know. Yours is only 802.11G
-
I'm using WPA2 with 802.11G to connect my laptops.
-
In its Data Sheet file, it is mentioned that WPA2-PSK is supported.
-
It's DWA-120. I've no access point, so I have to use ad hoc. Its latest driver on the website is older than my current driver that was on CD.

Not all Wireless Adapters support WPA2!

Is there anyway to disable WPS: http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/d-link-wireless-n/4864-3319_7-32435592.html?messageID=2566017 -
So I guess the problem is the ad-hoc connection. Your DWA-120 supports WPA2 (according to data sheet file) for connection to wireless router/access point, but not for ad-hoc connection.
Maybe it is time for you to buy wireless router to connect both of your computers. -

P.S.:i used dwa 110 on my celeron/ xp desktop to conncet it to my router in turn to my wifi vostro 1500/ vista. it worked wpa2psk way.. -
Does this support WPA2 in ad-hoc mode: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/ANZ/en/products/WUSB54GC
I use vista x86 for my PC. My problem is that windows 7 doesn't support WEP -
I still think instead of ad-hoc, you should move to infrastructure by adding wireless router into your configuration. Wireless routers are becoming more and more affordable right now. I just saw WRT54G2 costs $34 on eBay.

Is WRT54G2 better than ASUS WL-AM604G ?
-
Don't know... I just pointed out the Linksys because you had given the link to one of their products (WUSB54GC) and the price seems reasonable enough for suggestion.
As for my self... I've never used that particular model, but Linksys has always been my first choice when it comes to wireless routers. In fact, I've been using their wireless routers for these last 4-5 years without any problems. I used to use WRT54G, WRT54GS, and now I've moved to wireless N with WRT310N.
