If you card is less than five years old, it should do both.
This reference indicates that is should do both, WEP and WEPA.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort

The original graphite AirPort base station used 40-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). The second generation model (known as Dual Ethernet or Snow) AirPort base station, like most other Wi-Fi products, used 40-bit or 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). AirPort Extreme and Express base stations retain this option, but also allow and encourage the use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and, as of July 14, 2005, WPA2.

the card is dated 1999 and its the first apple airport card so only WEP huh? does that mean zero security or just low?
