Just wondering. WEP has zero security effect. The scanning tools will crack wep keys trivially so in many cases an attacker won't even *notice* that you have wep. It's more like having a lock on your car door that doesn't work at all. It keeps out accidental browsers, because someone has to try the door to notice it isn't locked.
