  Well, I've honestly not done much 
  reading on it. 
  But it looks to as if that's required for the full benefits in 
  an enterprise situation. That PDF does describe a 
  "home" mode.. 
  I'll cut and paste 
  Wi-Fi Protected Access for Home/SOHO In a home or Small 
  Office/ Home Office (SOHO) environment, where there are no central 
  authentication servers or EAP framework, Wi-Fi Protected Access runs in a 
  special home mode. This mode, also called Pre-Shared Key (PSK), allows the use 
  of manually-entered keys or passwords and is designed to be easy to set up for 
  the home user. All the home user needs to do is enter a password (also called 
  a master key) in their access point or home wireless gateway and each PC that 
  is on the Wi-Fi wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access takes over 
  automatically from that point. First, the password allows only devices with a 
  matching password to join the network, which keeps out eavesdroppers and other 
  unauthorized users. Second, the password automatically kicks off the TKIP 
  encryption process, described above.

  Thanks for the link - as I read this, it seems that in order 
  to implement this WPA, you have to implement a central authentication 
  infrastructure of some kind, e.g., RADIUS?
