I'm under the impression that if you have sufficiently intelligent firmware on the base station and client cards, they can avoid using the "weak" WEP keys, which prevents the airsnort-style attack from working. I don't know how secure WEP such a "careful WEP" is. Clearly a more carefully-thought-out system such as IPSec is more likely to be secure. -andy _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
