Now I am totally confused. Fajar says that it is not so easy to crack the 
passwords and Phil says the opposite. I am not a hacker. Can anybody say that 
this would be easy to do or not:

"A CA certificate must be used at each client to authenticate the server to 
each client before the client submits authentication credentials. If the CA 
certificate is not validated it is generally trivially easy (in wireless 
networks) to introduce a fake Access Point which allows gathering MS-CHAPv2 
handshakes, which on recent hardware can be cracked in a matter of seconds."
