Hi David, 
   Thanks for the thorough list of ideas and urls!  I didn't know about dd-wrt 
nor the podcast, zuperkool.

  Yeah, in reference to a previous post, I wouldn't mind sharing my wifi, if I 
had unlimited usage*. The idea of having someone intentionally cracking my 
router, now at least 4 times .... it doesn't seem like a white hat to me. 

N.B.   I am very grateful for the work of  Île Sans Fil ( et Zap ) and support 
the concept of open wifi hotspots ( ignoring the side effects of the financial 
allocation in the security domain )

Ah yes, wise,  I thought of that, but I may just buy a new router before I get 
up the effort.



Thanks to David and the other for your suggestions

Muchos Thank yous
