Re: [edlug] 802.11 g cards

[Alex Wasserman <a.wasserman@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

Even if you have a 802.11g card you might still not get WPA as every 
card and the hub have to support both 11g and WPA. We have an airport 
in our flat, but my flatmate's 11b card does not support WPA and 
doesn't seem to like any form of encryption, so we have turned ours 
off. I think that in a highly residential area their won't be too many 
roaming laptops, and I can detect two other networks myself, one 
encrypted, one not.

my views...

The price of seeking to force our beliefs on others is that someday
they might force their beliefs on us.
