How secure is secure enough?  At home, I hide and change the
network name(SSID?), I filter the MAC addresses, I used to use
WEP until I had to reset the router and then couldn't remember
the magical incantation anymore to get that to work again.  WEP
isn't all that effective (security wise) is it?  I usually use
the wired network in preference to the wireless network (for no
real reason).  Does Linux have a package for WPA (preferrably
FC4 to make life easier for this newbie).

I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.
