Yup it's stunning, isn't it. I've logged something north of 544 access points, with 191 running WEP (35%.) Careful that you don't fall into the trap of assuming that because you can stumble an unencrypted 'net that it's open.

We've got some list members from the U, speak up :-) You can watch the residential units multiply like rabbits in affluent neighborhoods, there's a street round the corner from me with 4 linksys units running (all on the same channel, all without WEP.) Two of those cropped up just after Christmas - guess what santa brought :-) > Chipolte also has one, and WEP is disabled. I hope it's not for their > credit card machine.
