[Wireless-general] WiFi Horrors: Tales from the Cryptographer

[Ann Tothill]

I'm actually sending this to test the list, but I thought I might as 
well send something vaguely interesting at the same time:

"Wi-Fi networks are terrifying. Sure, they're scary to set up, but 
even more frightening is how quickly we grow to rely on them. We love 
it when they obey our commands, but wireless connections leave us 
paralyzed when they suddenly stop working. The world of networking 
can be cruel, but the more you understand about the way it works, the 
better off you'll be when your connection drops and you find yourself 
in technology's twilight zone. And the better your Wi-Fi education, 
the more likely you'll keep spooks and spies out of your network. A 
little network know-how is the stake through the heart of the network 
interference vampire."
