I use old-fashioned WEP, which IMHO is secure enough for a home network, and everything works peachy. But WPA should work perfectly in your case, if there are no hardware issues.
I'm not home, so I can't check which is the latest Airport Utility in Tiger, but I would say stick with the latest, since it should be more compatible with WPA. If you can connect via ethernet, then it could simply be the card, or the PCMCIA cage. Sorry I can't be of more help.
