The older Apple Airport cards that only support 802.11b have a problem with WPA security because they were made with a version of WPA predating the official final version. Most routers of recent vintage actually do WPA2, which is even farther outside the realm of the older cards. The older cards were made to use the older WEP security standard. I'd recommend turning off all security on the router for a little while to see if the card works that way. If it does, you can use WEP security instead of WPA. WEP encryption isn't as good as WPA, but it is enough to keep out casual snoops.
