It was the default on the system I just installed.  On this thinkpad it 
is working fine.  The interface is as good as (maybe better than) what 
is on the machine in XP.  I just have WEP enabled.

I remember an article a couple of years ago and have no idea where I 
read it, but someone has built their own router on a linux box that uses 
ipv6 in encrypted mode for communication.  Sorry I can't remember where 
or when the article was published but I'm sure I read it because of the 
same concerns you're expressing.
