Spoofing MAC addresses is easy, even on 802.11b cards. Managing permitted MAC addresses is a good idea for home users with few cards and only a single base station. It's a management nightmare for large installations.

So what is the Best Practice approach to securing a wireless subnet? Given a WAP and n known cards, what is the best way to deal with MAC spoofing, wandering unauthorized users, etc. to prevent access to all lan resources for unauthorized users?
