1)I'm not going to unsecure my wireless connection
2)I'm not changing to WEP encryption cos its sh*t
4) I'm not buying an adapter
Only 2 options here:
1 - use an unsecured WLAN of a WEP secured connection from your neighbour (which should be easy for you since you claim WEP is sh*t)
Or
2 - don't use WEP and just live without a connection to your DSI

You can do it but you have to do a little bit of work. Take the following steps:
- Disassemble your Nintendo DS
- Unsolder the EPROM holding the firmware program data and read it out with an Eprom programmer ( Some EPROMs might be protected, in that case plan a break-in at the Nintendo DS design centre to obtain the source code )
- Reverse engineer the firmware code to compilable source code (if you had to steel the source skip this step)
- Program the WPA 2 PSK encryprion code. There are open source examples in the Linux kernel, that would be a good start (note: you may have make hardware changes to swap the WLAN chip if the chip in the DS it doesn't support WPA, in that case use another chipset and modify the driver to use that one instead.
- Compile the program with you changes. Be sure to keep the same memory map since some games may depend upon it. If the memory of the DS is too small to hold the extra code you may have to expand that too. You may consider a hardware redesign in that case.
- Burn your new EPROM
- Solder the modified EPROM back into your Nintendo DS
- Assemble your Nintendo DS
As you see, easy and simple. Good luck and be sure to report back here, some others may be interested in your modified EPROM and the required hardware changes you had to make.
By the way, the WPA 2 specifications are publicly available at ISO and ETSI for a small fee. There are also companies who will sell you the equipment to verify compliance with the WPA 2 standard. You have to buy a sh*tload of equipment, but hey, not a new adapter as you requested.
Good luck!
