IIRC, you're both somewhat correct. The original Airport is WEP capable, being 
an Orinoco Gold card without the built-in antenna, while the Airport Extreme 
(Broadcom chipset) card is WPA-capable.

Also, Bruce, going back a few posts, the router is not necessarily an 802.11n 
router, as some Atheros-based routers, provided they were on a network with 
all Atheros equipment, would do burst transfers at 108Mb/s. If this wasn't the 
case, they would operate as standard 802.11g routers.
