I have a dualband (a/b) AP that has WEP (152 bits) with it's DHCP server turned 
off and access restricted by MAC address.  The DHCP server runs on linux and 
then only issues an address against the allowed MAC's.  Plus, running 802.11a, 
not many use that so it's away from vast majority of the prying eyes.

I'd like to get FreeRadius working then I can do away with WEP and use something 
like IPSec or even PPTP (yeah yeah I know all about the horrors of PPTP, but 
it's just too easy with Windows machines).
