Linksys WPA and PowerBook G4 not working

I've been successfully using my PowerBook along with my Linksys wireless-G router for year now, using WEP to keep the neighbors out.

The other day I wanted to give WPA a try. I upgraded the Linksys firmware to the latest version (and powered it off/on). My PowerBook has Airport Extreme Card version 3.4.3f1 (3.50.37.p4) installed.

In my Linksys setup, I turned on WPA Shared Key and set it to a 10 character password (something easy for testing purposes). On the PowerBook I choose my network from the Other... menu item and selected WPA Personal and entered the password. All I get is a meaningless message saying There was an error joining the AirPort network "NetworkNameHere". So, I went back to WEP for now, but I want to know what the deal is with this. Any help would be appriciated.
 
Did you change the "Authentication type" from the default "Open" to "shared key".
 
My choices were "Auto" and "Shared-key" doesn't matter what I set it to, same problem.
