I have the firmware updater to version 8.72 that supports 128bit.

The problem is that in Windows and OS9 (maybe others), the drivers still
read the card's type and won't let you enable 128bit WEP (If I'm wrong then
maybe I'm using the wrong version of the drivers. I have the latest from the
Proxim web site).
