I can't detect any other systems when I scan. Well, WEP will keep out the casual person looking for an open wifi. To be honest, I think that is good enough unless you have a bored and highly talented kid living next door. In that case, it should take him only a few minutes to get the wep code and find a few MAC addresses that you haven't filtered. Personally I disable WEP and WPAv1 on my AP's just to be safe, but then I'm in the 'burbs around Silicon Valley. Luckily I only need to be compatible with Fedora 13, Android phones and occational visitors with Apple Mac's to worry about. They all do WPA2. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
