I have a Lynksys router with WPA security. I tried to connect to the network with an older iBook running 10.1 with no luck. The iBook has the built-in Airport card, sees the router, but can only connect if I disable security.
Any ideas?

It simply doesn't support WPA. It could be the hardware, but more likely the fact that you're using 10.1! Update to at least 10.3.
