Jeez, all this bottom to top posting is making my
dizzy. I will try my hand at it.
Anyway, what the previous guy said. Any
single WEP, WPA or WPA2 packet will have your MAC and SSID in its
header. If you have a single machine associated with your AP, it will
"heartbeat" within a minute and the snoops has everything they
need.
Additionally, they will have an encrypted packet
(or more likely since you are running Myth, about a zillion packets, which helps
them greatly) to go attack offline at home. They can come back a month
later and be on your network within seconds.
All overkill if you ask me since about 60% of the
networks in my neighborhood are wide open and 99% of the rest are running
WEP. My network isn't that interesting to a wardriver with access
to the zillions of easily open networks...networks that probably also have
Windows machines with Administrator passwords set to null.
Bottom Line: Use WPA2 and forget about the other
things that are a mess to maintain if you frequently have visitors.
