Well they are probably implementing something like orinoco's WEPplus
where all the weak IVs are dropped. However this method is not totally
safe. There are still other ways to crack WEP like the duplicate IV
attack. However the above mentioned method is an additional step in
security not a total solution.

I was speaking to a Cisco representative at the
Angelbeat Wireless seminar yesterday and he said that
Wifi using their AP's and card was secure since they
use a different implementation of WEP that drops all
the packets that most people use the decrypt the
codes.  He also said that their AP's have never been
hacked.  Is this true?  Are they really secure or was
this just marketing?
