Wow, this thread got hi-jacked pretty quick...
Back to the topic, why use WEP? I understand it encrypts your data using a set key, blah blah blah, but it also robs speed. Maybe you live in an area that has a lot of potential wi-fi "hackers" (you know, those people that have a laptop and just drive by to see where they can hop on someone's open internet link), but most of them look for the people with absolutely no protection at all to steal a link from. You can try limiting your access point to specific MAC (not Macintosh) address(es) for your wireless card(s) for yourself and anyone else using your link. The Access Point should ignor anyone else that is not in the MAC list.
Sure it isn't 100%, but neither is WEP. WEP is a LOT stronger, but again, do you REALLY need it. Just a thought, it is your setup. Do what you wish.
