There is no Problem using the Cisco product with Airport, we use it here,
however you must be careful with the password if you are using the
encryption.
What you need to do is to set up a base station with an English password
save the changes, then go to the menu that shows the PC equiv. password.
This is a Hex password that you can then use in the Cisco setup. For the
Macs you use the English word that you entered originally, and the PC's use
the equiv.
