    Are there any other cheap alternative to this? I mean, are others like smc and linksys offering radius support for cheap?

    Since we can't trust WEP we need to have everyone support as many security mechanism as possible!

    (What is the best way to secure this 802.11b protocole?

    What can radius do exactly, i m not very familiar with it, can it create a secure link between authentified client and the server while denying all others and leaving them with a stream of encrypted higher level protocol ?)
