what exactly is the point of having a wep key shared by 2000 people.
I didn't mean it for data confidentiality; I meant it for building the
wires W in WEP not for the P privacy. Basically one such W for ietf and one for aodv.
We've noticed that setting both the essid and the key helps a lot with the automatic detection various procedures, such as end-user laptops don't get automatically attached to essid's that happen to be advertised without keys by other end-users' laptops.
except to have another thing for people to screw up when they try and type it in our paste it. thereby increasing the support overhead at the help desk.
Yes, I understand that talking in terms of 2000 actual people is different than in terms of 20some hosts we're using.
