"That [WEB] will give people a false sense of security." IMHO those 'people' are a group that is a subset of folk that will do 'unwise' things no matter what level of scurity is in place. Move along, nothing to see here... Internet != secure, period.

I will agree that the security in WEP is almost useless, and have personally campaigned to change it for years. But, it is still the only Access Control widely available. So, it should be used, in addition to the better methods.
That will give people a false sense of security. Wouldn't it be better to use an approach like NetReg to give every user a warning when they first connect to the network? That doesn't require any arcane software config and would give an accurate indication of how secure the network is. Chris
