um all i know is that WEP is a wireless encryption method. you can have 32bit through 256bit. it was made to stop people from being able to intercept your data that you send wirelessly. thats about all i know. i also know that wireless networking in linux is a major bitch

trc3:
WEP = Wired Equivalent Privacy

Well WEP is a weak encryption that has been cracked, the safest way to protect your wireless network is to use mac address control.  Each ethernet card or 802.11b device has a unique id.  So you get the mac address from your computer/s and you only allow comp's with those mac address to connect to your wireless router.  As far as I know if you do this your 99% safe.  I have my "wi-fi"[I hate that word] network setup to use both, so no other computers can connect to my router and the info sent back and forth is encrypted.


Heres a few articles about WEP:
