guess that's what happens when you use snmp to manage APs ... duh ...
the bad part about press + security flaws is the fact that headlines are
extremely misleading + all the stuff which gets written about is like "if
you leave your door unlocked there is a vulnerability that your house might
be broken into" problems ...

Cisco Systems is warning of a vulnerability in some of its Aironet Wi-Fi
access points that could allow attackers to snoop on corporate networks.
Vulnerable access points transmit security keys over the air in unencrypted
text, meaning that an eavesdropper could intercept them. With the keys, an
attacker could easily break the encryption protecting Wi-Fi transmissions.
Wi-Fi is a wireless standard commonly used in corporate and personal
local-area networks.
