Doing it by MAC address means that if you reinstall the machine, you  
don't have to remember the WEP key and re-enter it all, it "just  
works". If you deal with a number of machines or have a tendency to  
reinstall regularly, it would be less administration to set it up  
once on the DHCP server.
