Does Wii Wi-Fi support "WPA" wireless protocol please?

I am thinking of buying Wii Gaming Console for my son's birthday next week. My daughter's laptop is wirelessly being connected to the O2 Wiressless Box2 through its "WPA" Encryption 54Mps and is working O.K. So does the Wii Integrated Wi-Fi adapter support "WPA" Encryption 54Mbps which enables it to be connected to my O2 Wirelessly 54Mbps for on-line plays without any hardware issues??
Thanks
(P.S: I know that 54Mbps wireless G-Standard is only a theoretical link-rate)

i can confirm the wii works with the o2 wireless box 2 and wireless box 3 under wpa or wpa2 encryption

Thank for your "very speedy" reply! Does it mean the Wii, which I haven't bought it yet, has some kind of Menu or similar which prompts you to input your "WPA" protocol and its "Key" for joining my O2 Wireless Box 2??

Thanks

It will display the wireless networks and when you select yours it will ask for the password. The setting of protocol is all automatic so you won't need to set WPA/WPA2/whatever.

Nintendo have a nice little guide on how to set it up to:

Thank you all for these useful information! Now I can go ahead of buying this Nintendo Wii for my son's birthday and less worrying about does it support my O2 Wireless Box2 for wireless connection.
Many thanks once again!!

I just got my Wii thurs and it is setup on WPA-PSK (WPA2) just like my home network is
And its the the Wii settings - Internet - connections menu
I also had to go to the agreement/contract menu so I could use the internet channel/Wii shop channel
But one of the 2 manuals tells you how to set it up

It is quite re-assuring from your added info. Thanks
