Wireless Folks Question [G4 MAC + T-Mob Hotspot]

Just got a T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot, (by ZTE) really small, WPA,
8 byte WPA WiFi password, works fine, on my Intel MBPro 10.5.8.

Like the below Support bullet, my 10.4.11 PB G4 gets a hate message.
"There was an error joining the Airport network" (WPA Personal).
I'm told PB G4's with right drivers do conform to Apple's spec of working
with WPA Personal. Need ideas on where to find the right fix?

AirPort Card Information:

Wireless Card Type: AirPort
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 9.52

From Apple - Support - Discussions - PB (10.4.11) can't connect to WPA ...,
"There was an error joining the Airport network". PowerBook G4 Mac OS ...
While the AirPortExtremeUpdate 2007004 package does seem to include
PowerPC extensions, ... discussions.apple.com › ... › Getting Online &
Networking

Any options for PBG4 other than trying to use WEP ?
