WEP sucks anyway, if you want "good" encryption, then use a (ha, patched) version of ipsec, ssh, lsh, etc... If it takes a few more minutes for someone to crack a 128-bit key than a 64-bit one, what's the big deal, it is still in the realm of "easily crackable". I have heard that the latest wifi encryption standard, from WPA is it(?), is much better, but I'm not up on that. Anyone? Is the successor to WEP really better??

PS - the future can only hold *some* sort of upgrade for them, statistically speaking... every "black box" eventually opens up, right? _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
