The end of wireless as we know it is at hand. Repent your evil ways
and prepare for the coming of yet another deluge of acronyms. Though
thou sacrifice upon the altar of fallen standards, thy petition for
data safety is in vain, for the priests only deliver complexity, and
little safety. Best to await the coming of the messiah, who shall
lead the multitudes to a land of perfect cryptography, infinite
bandwidth, readable standards, and omniscient tech support. Meanwhile,
learn, read, and suffer your way towards enlightenment.

If you're going to use my favorite method of spreading FUD (fear,
uncertainty, and doubt), then at least offer the recommended solution
to the WPA security problems. I wouldn't want to see another internet
rumor start here.

If the user selects a WPA pre-shared key that's longer than 20
characters (63 chars maximum) and is not found in a typical word list
dictionary, then WPA-PSK is fairly safe from dictionary attack.

The WPA security problems also only apply to WPA-PSK and do not apply
to WPA-RADIUS, WPA-TKIP, and WPA-2.
