What ought I to do? OK, granted that this is true, can we please discuss the PROBLEM, as opposed to the potential security risks of sharing my password?
First, since you have multiple original Airport cards, I'd switch cards between a known working card and the iBook and see what happens. Here are the possibilities:
If you switch cards, and the problem is fixed on the iBook and the problem transfers to the other Mac, then the problem is the card itself. I believe there were multiple versions of the original Airport card and some didn't support all encryption modes? Since the card works unencrypted, it's probably not a bad card, but it may be an older model?
If the problem doesn't transfer with the switched cards but stays with the iBook only, then it's probably a software issue with the iBook, or perhaps a difficult hardware issue with a bad connection to the Airport socket.
If neither computer has problems after the switch, don't try to figure out why, just be thankful they both work and leave them where they are now. It was probably a bad connection in one of the pins on the iBook?
If both computers now don't work, you could have both a hardware and a software problem in the iBook.
