That is not true. My G3 800 Mhz iBook can handle WPA - under Mac OS X.
Ansers to my question in this list a long time ago claimed that the
missing support for WPA is a *Linux driver* problem. I don't know if
this might change now with new WLAN drivers entering the kernel. Perhaps
somebody else activly monitoring kernel development can give a judgement?
