RE: wireless help

["David Gillett" <gillettdavid () fhda edu>]

  And since tools exist to crack a WEP key in about 15 minutes,
that's all you need.  (I'm being facetious....)

  (Actually, since reports indicate that ~60% of wireless 
installations don't even use WEP, odds are that many intruders,
when they encounter one that does, will simply go elsewhere.
So for some low-risk applications, you can argue that WEP is
sufficient.)
