This certainly is a problem if you don't set up

Setting up a wep key is so simple, people should
know better than leavin unsecured networks. What
I'm concerned with however is weather nor not a
64bit key is sufficient to keep out local air

its been what 2 years now since wep has been

traffic they can work out your key.
