NetStumbler is good for War Driving and finding potential customers. And
you don't have to hack or access someones network to do it. When you

Agreed. This could be a big legal trap.
If you use something like Network Stumbler, you're not actually using
their network. You're just seeing the broadcasts from it. Maybe that
would be a good approach.

Pat,
The 8th layer policy idea is good. I would take that one step
further, after checking with your legal department to make sure they
don't have a problem with it and that it's airtight:

I attended a Cisco Wireless update last month and came
out of it with this information.
Their updated WEP provides dynamic keys now. It is
still crackable, but by the time it is cracked the key
has regenerated.
Also the keys are no longer hard coded into the

Question: Is Cisco's LEAP better than WEP? Does it have the same purpose
but without some of the issues? I should know this, but I don't use Cisco
for wireless (shame, shame).
It's not that it's better than WEP, it just provides reasonably secure
authentication and a bandaid for WEP's

WEP for starters, then you can set the acccess point to only accept

When we find access points like that, we disable the switch port they
