Sujet: [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.

I wonder if the WEP issue is firmware related. Mine seems to work consistently, though admittedly, I don't use WEP at home. It is also possible that certain AP / Wi-Fi card combinations don't play well together with WEP.

Of course, all of the WEP stuff becomes a non-issue for most of us if and when we finally get WPA driver support and ultimately 802.11i (ratified) driver support (and hardware support).

Indeed Andy, everyone is expecting WEP to work with
the CISCO 350 driver, but in fact , most of the times,
it does not work (sometimes it does) strangely enough.
Anyway, I use the driver + mac filtering on my WAP.

I can really recommend you LinkSys WPC11 v4. Supported by the latest GenPRISM + encryption et
cetra.

Best regards, Jonas Buys.
