Someone wrote me offline that "Have you never heard of DSS?"My reply
to this person is :"That was a form of deception(or reception) at one
time,that was secure.When it was released to the public,it either
became more secure,or suffered from lack of enthusiasm.

By the time DSS was released to the public,there was not much else
that could be done.Toasters?Refrigerators?"
In reality,802.11x could be made more secure by the use of DSS.I
believe this was done in the mid '90's.That chipset was phased out for
lack of public enthusiasm.Even cordless phones have almost abandoned
a,relatively,secure transmission method.

All it takes is the key for changing the frequency.......
