Re: [PLUG] wireless security

Hey, one reason why I want a PCMCIA wireless cards is to drive around 
and see what it picks up!  Not that I will try to crack into anything or 
borrow Internet access.

I know you can base access on a MAC or a password, but I don't have much 
wireless experience.  I'm planning to use built-in encryption or a VPN 
tunnel for security.
