wireless gateway & openbsd

[Tom Emerson]

Hmmm, I thought all the wireless buzz was about making open access 
available everywhere ... so that people driving by your home will be able 
to check their email & surf as they pass by??

 ... wasn't this the AP access project that bases access on the MAC 
address? (and it is totally spoofable).  My two cents worth, assume 
_somebody_ is going to be sniffing your AP and potentially access your 
network, secure your network with this in mind.
