As always, security is what you configure for.  I have CCMP enabled,
which is why I see "RSN" on the WiFi connection in Knetworkmanger.  I
still see some with WEP enabled and even some who haven't bothered to
change the default settings their WiFi box came with.  Even if you
mangaged to break my WiFi, you'd still be up against my firewall.  I
suspect anyone looking for free WiFi access will pass me by for one of
my dumber neighbours.  Short of setting up a RADIUS server, what would
you recommend I do to improve my WiFi security?
