Hah, I can vouch for that. I tried to switch my Asus WL300G AP to WPA-PSK yesterday. I couldn't get my two XP laptops to connect to the AP (well, actually things stuck when requesting an IP address). I decided to upgrade the Asus' firmware, which failed, leaving my AP in a useless state, if it weren't for the recovery procedure. That procedure worked, but still no IP :( So I switched back to WEP-128 and never even got 'round to trying the SB3's...
