If you plan to deploy a wireless network you should read WirelessNetwork, WirelessNetworkSecurityHowto and WirelessNetworkSecurityNotes. And beware of people WarDriving or WarWalking in your area, but they shouldn't pose any big threat if you done your homework properly, atleast start with enabling [WEP] and change the default passwords. |
