Another way with the MAC filtering is block all MAC address except for the
ones on your wireless cards. Second you can change your SSID on the card
very easy so it won't affect you if you travel. 128 bit WEP will ding you
slightly but if it helps slow someone from getting in is it worth it? If it
is a highly important network that you are using wireless use a VPN on it to
require a user and a password to gain access.
