Airport upgrades possible?

[GreycatSR5]

Hi all, new to macs and trying to learn. I've purchased an older iBook Indigo, which I'm told was one of the first to have the integral Airport card. I've gotten OS X 10.2 installed on it. I'm having some trouble getting onto wireless networks. It seems that the 10.2 software for Airport doesn't support the latest, greatest encryption, so I can't log on to most networks with my Airport.

Is there anyway to upgrade just the portion of 10.2 that controls Airport so that I can work with the newer encryptions? I'm given to understand that 10.2 is about the best I can get on my Indigo.

No. You are stuck with 802.11b using the internal card. This limits you to WEP encryption only...

Wifi USB dongles are available, but your computer has USB 1.1 ports, so their speeds would be prohibitively slow, if they work at all.

Sorry.
