Just bought a new 11g router, but I already had an 11b PC-Card in a laptop previously. The new 11g router has the newer WPA encryption. The older 11b laptop card doesn't do WPA. Now does the WPA have backwards compatibility to WEP? What I mean is if I set the router to WPA, will the older WEP-only card still be able to work with it? Also how safe is WEP from decryption? I understand that there is a vulnerability in WEP, but is that vulnerability only against the basic-level 64-bit WEP? Does the enhanced-level 128-bit WEP suffer from the same problem?
