And WEP is simpler still.  So maybe everyone should be forced to use WEP instead?


If we do this process correctly, we should be able to get a simple set of clients that have certain configurations baked-in by default, and a simple way to extend that list of configurations through the AP itself.  At that point, the complexities behind what it took to get to that stage should become a non-issue for the AP-user and probably also a non-issue for the AP-owner.
