Unable to connect to wireless network

Hi,

I have just had new wifi installed on my network. It is WPA/PSK authentication and TKIP encrypted. The network is broadcasting. My laptop with XP SP3 connected fine and work with the connection, but I have10 PC's with XP SP2 that can find the network, but if you try to connected a mesag pops up with:

"Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again."

I've tried inputting all connetio detailsthrough properties, but this does not seem to help. Any ideas?

The machines have Marvell Libertas 802.11g SoftAP wireless cards installed. Could it be that these cards do not support WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption?

I am not at the site at the moment, but will try that. I fear it will not work though as I did install SP3 on one of the machines that wasn't connecting and it still couldn't connect.

Encase the patch doesn't work, does anyone have any other suggestions?
