I totally agree that even without encryption support Wifi is a valuable addition and should definitely be in the release. I only wanted to add the point to discussion, that we might want to consider postponing the release a bit, if that would allow inclusion of encryption support. That mainly depends on estimates how long it would take to add it, of course. CU, Ingo
