The original airport is WPA capable because that's how both my G4
desktop and TiBook at home are set up.
Also, Apple seems to be of a contrary opinion, as well:

When in doubt, ask the Mothership, Mother knows...:-)
I was wrong. It seems that the Orinoco Gold chipset is one of the few 802.11b
chipsets that gained WPA support. It's been too long since I've connected to
an encrypted network with one.
I think the WPA is done in software for the Orinoco and Original Airport
cards (same chipset). Airport Extreme cards support it in hardware.
