Does anyone understand Apple's thinking in restricting WPA support to
Airport Extreme (802.11g)? WPA was specifically designed to work with
older wireless cards. While replacing access points may be a
reasonable expense to achieve the much higher security WPA generally
offers, most Airport customers have a large investment in
Panther-capable laptops that cannot support Airport Extreme. This
requirement will likely delay uptake of WPA for many years.
