Does this new version of suse linux support WPA with linksys WAPS ?

I tried connecting to my wireless secured network with WPA authentication using 
an orinco PC card, and it didnt work.

Can you please help me...

The orinoco driver does not support WPA.

Is this really a shortcoming of the driver or is it actually the device that 
doesn't support WPA in the first place? 
 
In other words: is there any hope that a orinoco based wireless device would 
ever be supporting WPA? 
 
  Model: "Actiontec Electronics Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset" 
  Vendor: pci 0x1260 "Intersil Corporation" 
  Device: pci 0x3873 "Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset" 
  SubVendor: pci 0x1668 "Actiontec Electronics Inc" 
  SubDevice: pci 0x0406 
 
In case it is a driver issue, would WPA work (now or in the future) with one 
of the other drivers (hostap_pci, prism2_pci) that offer support for this 
device?
