Fair
enough,
But I
don't have such secrets...Probably applies to
corporations.
As you
say, in theory, my neighbour could pick up my data and access my fixed
network, but it's not so trivial, because data are encripted before
transmitted.
Most
of the people will not be too concerned about it for home
use.

Just
a thought. If you are concerned about security (if not this is
irrelevant)of
WLANs then you should only connect AP to a switch not a hub (if you are
really
into security all APs should go through a firewall before hitting the main
network, but overkill for most of us I suspect) the reason is that by
default
ethernet broadcasts to all stations, so if you use a hub all data on your
network will go out from the AP, meaning more available to anyone in range.
This also means more data for cracking software to work with. It might also
affect performance ofthe WLAN, but not sure on that.

For us that already have server with ADSL and ICS running on server
in node0, how do we integrate wireless stuff into existing
network?
Do
we just plug AP into existing hub/switch.
Or
if we want to make it cheaper, can we buy 2 wireless cards, stick one into
server with ICS and other into tablet and do "something" on
server
so I can access internet and LAN from Fujitsu
tablet?
