Thanks for the hint.

For people who don't know the WEP authentication "security",
I found some info on it here:

A paper and additional information about WEP can be found here:
http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/isaac/wep-faq.html

Today, I have taken a look at wireless networks for the
first time. All I can see is that the design is a complete
disaster.

Thanks,
Martin
