That's the point, Bob. It's easy-peasy to sniff a MAC address if you're a bad guy intent on monitoring a network connection, whether wired or wireless. With WEP, it's trivially easy to break the crypto. With WPA it's harder but still doable. I don't trust /anything/ on an unauthenticated link, or even an authenticated one if it doesn't have stronger crypto than WPA, unless I control both ends of the medium and every point in between. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
