I routinely use a Cisco Aironet 340-series card (that is capable of
"128-bit" (112 bits significant, if I recall correctly; what's at issue
for this discussion is that it is >40 bits) WEP with an Apple Airport.
I use it with WEP enabled, for that matter -- I just limit the key
length on the Aironet card.

Cheers,
