Is it just me or do some people ask the same question, over, over and over. Now let me tell you I'm 16, i'm a 
networker, I program c, I program perl, and I even darn live on my own and pay my own bills.
You older networking people (my future) can realy give me one heck of a grin. But I guess that's why I read bugtrack, 
incidents and secureshell all day :)
As for WiFi security I have seen a few emails pass already on the subject of DHCP pooling amungst you'r host's 
depending on FTP/POP passwords, this is one option. You also have the ability to filter mac address's in your 
networking down to a fine point of only... go figure your hosts! :) Ok, last but not least I want to say ipsec would be 
a great option but can't guarentee it since I have never, personaly had the satisfaction of using this. Reguards, 
--K-sPecial

Sorry if I seem to come off as a cocky teen but shit i'm serious here.

JC, 
      The first question that I have to ask you is what are your security
requirements?  Whats the nature of the information on the target
network? There are many ways to secure wireless networks, but there
is a point where they are just not suggested.
