The card supports WEP. OS X.4 (I think) and up supports WPA in software using
an original Airport card

I did a test some time ago and here is what I wrote up:
We wrote here recently about how Apple included support in Tiger (and perhaps
Panther) for using WPA with the original Airport card. Some people here said
they couldn't get it working.
Well today I tested it out. It works but with a specific configuration.
I tried it with my Pismo with an Original Airport card and the base station is
an Airlink 101 Super G.
I tried WPA PSK and WPA2 PSK (WPA PSK is the same as WPA Personal) and using
TKIP and AES with both. The results were:
WPA PSK
TKIP Worked
AES Doesn't Work
WPA2 PSK
TKIP Doesn't Work
AES Doesn't Work
Only WPA PSK with TKIP worked. So those trying to do this would be well
advised to try that combo.
My D-Link "N" AP/Router supports WPA and WPA2 both enabled simultaneously and
also AES and TKIP both enabled. My Pismo doesn't work with that router. I'm
not in a hurry to test it out as a it's the main router and several computers
connect through it.
And here is the Apple link that discusses WPA on Tiger with original Airport
cards.
