Get a Silver of that card and upgrade it to a gold with this site if
you can: AAARRRRGGGGHHHH! can't find the site. Summary of how to do it
on a Mac running Mac OS 9:
1. Download the latest Airport Updater (the Normal non-Extreme one)
from Apple.
2. Shut down your computer and open the case to the Airport card slot.
3. Put the card in the AP slot and boot the computer while open.
4. Run the Airport updater and select the card.
5. When the updater is finished, shut down and take out the card.Now it
has 128 WEP!
