I don't think Tiger supports WPA2 properly. If your iMac is a first Generation
iLamp (with USB 1.1) then OS X 10.5 will not install on it, but it will run on
it if you can get it installed.
Do you have another machine? I think the iLamp can boot into Target Disk Mode,
then you could install Leopard on the drive.
However, when I was googling I did find this information on connecting to
Yale's WPA2 network
<http://www.yale.edu/its/network/wireless/wpa/mac-tiger/config-wpa-tiger.html>
So apparently it can work?
I know I had issues with my G4 laptop when it was running 10.4 connecting to
secure networks.
