Ain't nothing important unencrypted. I've never really seen a need for
WEP or WPA on my network, because everything is SSH and HTTPS.

But I have used WEP easily many times when connecting to networks at
friends', etc.

I really don't think "not ready for prime time" is how I would
characterise Linux's WiFi support.

Your fellow Frenchman (come on, you count as French by now) Jean
Tourilles has put a lot of work into wireless-tools, and it shows.
Stuff is as easy to use as iwconfig.
