Brad,
We can agree that the 40 bit stuff is not worth the trouble. My 128
bit Lucent card says "128-bit RC-4 encryption". Last I heard, RC-4 was
not considered a "safe" algorithm.
Also, in any multi-user environment, the secret must be too public. (I
believe that when I know something, it's secu

If I'm not mistaken, this is actually using Triple DES at 128
bits, so this is still decently strong. The proble

But without encryption, anyone can talk to your base statio

Even at 128 bits, WEP encryption is, at best, rather weak. The right
answer is to use strong encryption for everything.
OpenSSH is now a standard part of FreeBSD. Use it and stop sending
clear passwords over the net. Then you don't care about the security
of the link, only the end nodes.
