Last night I disabled the WEP, the first suggestion I received and the
wireless network ran perfectly all night.

However I understand it's not so good running without any encryption. 

How's everyone else doing it?

I did the following last night which seemed to work.

Install racoon on my firewall and laptop.

run this with setkey -f on the laptop.

spdadd 192.168.14.2/32 0.0.0.0/0 any -P out ipsec
   esp/tunnel/192.168.14.2-192.168.14.1/require;
spdadd 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.14.2/32 any -P in ipsec
   esp/tunnel/192.168.14.1-192.168.14.2/require;

Then the same thing on the firewall with out/in switched around.

Startup racoon and I was away. A tcpdump on wi0 showed only ESP packets
being transmitted.

So is this all I need to do to secure my wireless link??

cheers,

ajt.
