Can you flash firmware to WPA?

My mother has a Toshiba Laptop with a Centrino system. The Wireless adapter is:
Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
I just noticed that it doesn't have WPA encryption. Is there a way to flash the firmware to be able to make WPA encrypted connections to my laptop?

are you using this laptop to connect to another laptop or to a router / access point?

I'd like to connect to my router which is set up with WPA encryption, but the laptop being a 801.11b and not a G only gives me a WEP option. I was wondering if the only way to get it to connect would be an Hardware upgrade or if there is a firmware update that would enable WPA.
