Q: WPA wireless instead of WEP with PowerBook G4 Titanium Onyx?
Hi I recently helped a friend install an airport card in her PowerBook G4 Titanium Onyx that she purchased back in 2002. The install went fine, but when I started it up it will not recognize any wireless networks. I set up her netgear router with WPA security. On the Mac I only find WEP recognized. Is there a way to get this older notebook onto WPA secure wireless networks or do I have to change the security to WEP if she wants to use this notebook? It would be great to keep the WPA security because she sometimes uses a newer Dell laptop from work too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
M.

I guess that this article and the instructions here are applicable in this case (it is easy to become confused because of the number of PowerBook G4 models). Without an antenna, the range would be very limited.
