sounds like a good place to explain why people should switch to WPA instead of WEP if their router supports it.
people like me would like to know :c)

Hmmm ... Software Update shows me zilch.

I'm running 10.2.8 ... is this Panther-only?

I have an AEBS with an AirPort Extreme card in a 12" PB and a regular AirPort card in a G3 iMac. Tried Software Update on both computers, but nothing.

Seems to be panther only. wpa seems to be incompatible with 802.11b cards too.
