Linksys/Mac wireless incompatibilities

I have now tried two different Linksys wireless N routers - the WRVS4400N
and the WRT310N, and both are not behaving well with my Mac wireless, using
WPA (things are fine with no encryption).  With my MacBook Pro, I have to
manually connect (re-type in both the SSID and password), and with my
PowerBook (G4, 500MHz), it won't connect at all (" The wireless network
'MyWifi' does not support the requested encryption method.").  My old
WRT54GL works fine here, both with Linksys and sveasoft firmware.  Anyone
having success with with Linksys or other (non-Apple, of course) N routers?

Also, how does one tell at what speed your Mac's wireless is connected?
