128-bit encryption - wireless access points

I know that many people have opened the Apple Airport and swapped the
Orinoco silver card inside for a gold one, making it 128-bit secure. Has
anyone tried to make the Netgear ME102 access point 128-bit secure? Can it
be done? Is it as simple as opening the case and swapping a (probably
Netgear) pc-card?

The reason I don't want the airport is because it's 3 inches high, and the
netgear is only 1 inch high. I'd like to transport the access point with
my laptop, so when I'm home, I can plug it in and roam wirelessly and I
can do the same in the office. Will this work? Will haveing the access
point unplugged for prolonged periods of time require me to "Set it up"
every time I move it?

Thanks,
Doug Melniker
