The X30 does not support WPA, so I would guess neither does the X24.

The obvious options are an external wireless card. I like USB dongles,
because with a USB adapter cable you can put the dongle wherever you
like to pull in remote or weak signals. (For example, some of our
classrooms are not covered by the campus wireless, but I can hang the
dongle/cable out the window and get a great signal.)
