Just as an aside - the 128 bit (actually 104 bit) encryption does not 
offer you any more protection than 64 bit (actually 40 bit) encryption, 
but a 128 bit encrypted wireless link has substantially lower throughput 
than a 40 bit (or unencrypted) link, without any gains in security/

But from a cracker's perspective, the 128 bit WEP system is as easy to
crack as 40 bit.
