In your circumstances, probably not.

Most of the work we did on Mac OS 9 driver was supporting all of the 
different password algorithms supported by the X driver -- we also 
added a couple of cards and implemented an optional feature required 
by the latest AirPort Extreme firmware update.

This is a win for people with an AirPort base station since they can 
now enter a text password instead of having to run AirPort Admin 
Utility to get a WEP key and enter that in hexadecimal.

So, if you don't have an Apple AirPort Base Station or one of the 
previously unsupported cards, there's probably nothing that you care 
about.

If you were running Mac OS X, the fixes in card ejection added in 
1.0.3b7 are probably worth the update.

Hope this answers your question.
