#1, Ad-Hoc networks in large classrooms
#2, Interferences on 5 GHz, point-to-point links
#3, People believing that we need to secure WLANs at all prices

#1, -Education for prevention
-Netstumbler etc.. for Detection
-On-site visit and yelling, for remediation (cannot detect a specific

jamming solutions
#2, -We use of a portable Spectrum Analyzer
#3, -Secure Applications, then revisit the problem!
(WLAN security is only between Devices and APs
it's all clear after that!)
