It is also possible to get WPA2/PSK working on RT2500 using the same approach but different driver. I noticed after many Windows 98 re-installations that WPA-PSK option was missing if some network features were not enabled during Windows 98 installation. If "IEEE 802.1X Protocol" is missing then you're screwed as it cannot be added without proper disc (for manual installation it is located in MDC section which requires files not present on Windows 98 CD or the wifi driver). In that case wifi adapter will have local IP and internet will not work. DHCP will fail if "IEEE 802.1X Protocol" is missing (can sometimes happen). It is vital that "IEEE 802.1X Protocol" gets added to Windows "Network" settings during driver installation, otherwise there will be no WPA-PSK option and manual registry configuration for WPA2 will not work. When I install driver for Edimax EW-7128g (RT2561ST) just after installation of Windows 98, then the Ralink utility offers WPA-PSK in Profile "Authentication type".
