>Description:
Then trying to connect to AirPort Extreme card (in PowerMac G5) using iwi0 (Intel WiFi) interface with WEP encryption enabled, the console displays "iwi0: unknown authentication state 4" as long as the interface is UP.

The connection works perfectly well when:
1. encryption is disabled on AirPort Extreme
2. AirPort (non-Extreme) card is providing connection (I use AirPort in PowerBook G4)

Note: I am using iwi-firmware-2.3nb1 package. 3.0 version is available here http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/iwifw/
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to set up an encrypted connection between Intel WiFi interface and Apple AirPort Extreme.
