Subject: [OS2Wireless] good choice for wireless pcmcia card

Well I have turned on MAC filtering now, have the SSID set to not 
broadcast, lowered the power to cut the range, allowing only 1 
association on the AP, and as both the card and AP are cisco turned on 
all the proprietary stuff  to limit compatibility somewhat to other 
devices.  I booted to windoze prior to turning on my AP a couple of 
times and scanned for wireless devices and there weren't any that came 
up.  I don't think where I am there is likely to be any problems but is 
there any other safeguards that I could put into place?  From what you 
write, Lewis, I see you aren't using WEP at home, am I worrying to much 
about WEP?
Lewis, what firmware do you have?  If I can get WEP I can connect at 
other locations.
