If your networks use WPA (or WPA2, both Personal and Enterprise) then a successful auth does not send your password over, instead it exchanges a number of secrets encrypted using the key generated basing on the password (and SSID) so in order to provide a fake (spoofed) access point you already need to know the password. If your networks use WEP or no security at all then, well, you are on your own :) -- Patryk Zawadzki _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
