Recently I acquired an old Belkin wireless nic that has an RTL8180D chipset
on it. It supports Host AP and is working nicely. Thanks to all those who
helped breath life into that card/chipset! Dmesg reports it as:
rtw0 at pci0 dev 10 function 0 "Belkin F5D6001" rev 0x20: irq 7
rtw0: ver RTL8180D, radio SA2400A, amp SA2411, address 00:30:bd:4c:8e:5c
Currently its functioning as an unencrypted connection secured with authpf.
I'd like to encrypt the traffic so as to prevent prying eyes from gathering
something they should not. However it seems like my only choices are WEP, an
SSH tunnel, OpenVPN or PoPToP. WEP is out since it is not very secure and
I've tried PoPToP but it does not seem to like being used for this purpose.
Before I embark on setting up OpenVPN I was wondering if there were any
other methods to encrypt my traffic that I had not thought of?
ipsec(4) is still a fairly popular choice for securing WLANs.
