The whole point of WEP is that it's 'Wired Equivalent Privacy'. It'd take them about 3 minutes (or less) to tap your ethernet, so equivalently it'd take them about 3 minutes to get into your base station.

Anyone really concerned about security isn't relying on WEP anyway.


Another interesting sideline is once I connected my PB to the wireless (siemens) via WPA it actually connected a lot smoother at least once a day and stayed connected. WEP I would have problems connecting after moving position in some cases just a couple of feet or if PB goes too sleep even just a screen sleep, only solution I found was enabling SSID but, WPA no such problem or enabled SSID.

Have fun,
Shay
