Hmmm... sounds like people will have the ability to run aircrack on their phones, which would be pretty damn cool and I'm NOT CONDONiNG HACKiNG, I'm just saying... it would be cool for uhm, hardening your local Wireless Network.

Am I reading this corretly? Broadcom is opening up some of its driver info? If thats true then does this mean the greater Linux community can finally have proper Broadcom drivers for wireless? It seems like the final barrier to easy Linux installs has fallen....even though the FOSS community did a wonderful job of working around the Broadcom problem anyway.

That's not true.. Use WPA or WPA2 and you should be fine. Especially if you use all 63 characters in your password.

Unsecured and WEP networks have been vulnerable for some time now.

Even if you use 128, I can still crack it. And how many simple folks do you know that use or know what WPA even means? I am thinking about the common folks who like to do things, the LEGAL and simple plug and play way.
