I've written a document on setting up wireless networking, with an eye
towards security. I keep adding things that I don't see mentioned much
elsewhere. Some of what I've added is based on messages that I've seen
here, and some is based on my own experience. I'm still working on it
when I have a few moments here and there, else I'd put it up on my
wiki. If anyone wants to see what I have so far, though, just ask.
Note, it's a 108MB file (5.5 MB zipped), so you'll need a big inbox.
It's so large because it has lots of pictures.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
