Re: WLAN with encryption

Daniel Kraft enlightened us with:
The only problem is (WEP) encryption: If I configure the network to
use encryption, I can't setup wlan0 with iwconfig anymore!

That sucks. I don't have a solution for you, but I do know a
workaround. WEP is known to be ridiculously easy to crack. Instead of
relying on that to "secure" your network, I suggest you keep an open
net, and secure it with a VPN solution like OpenVPN. I do that here at
home, and it works great. Without the VPN-connection, the only thing
people can do is download OpenVPN and request a VPN certificate ;-)

capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
