What is wrong with the 'good old' 802.1x with EAP or WPA solution?
There is a difference between keeping signals from leaking out, and keeping them from leaking out in decipherable form. In some situations the latter may be enough - hopefully it will be if you need to be "out" and still have signal. In other situations even that will be undesirable. I'm aware of at least one regular office building here that has extremely poor wireless (802.11b) reception through real walls. No idea how that was established, however, though I do believe it was done on purpose, and from Andy's story it seems as though it wouldn't have been enough anyway. Regards, -- Niels.
