I'm wondering if I can simply set my wireless router to use WPA and change the settings for the wireless connection to the new WPA security settings.  Would there be compatibility issues with the wireless radio hardware?  I'm using the old laptop's internal wireless radio.

I think the WPA support depends only on the device driver for the 
wireless network hardware. That is the only hardware-specific thing to 
worry about. I would think probably most of the WLAN device drivers in 
Kubuntu 9.04 support WPA.

Good luck,
Jim
