BTW, to make this vaguely on topic, does anyone know if there's any encrypted (WEP) WiFi support in Elate? *Any* wireless networking for that matter?


I don't know about Elate, but I've been setting up wireless networks for our customers at work for about 1.5 years now.  The system we use requires you to know the SSID of the network to join (which is a 6 digit number from the RG unit, and each one is different)  And by default WEP is on, and provides 40-bit or 128-bit encryption.  You would have to physically turn WEP off to allow your wireless network to become vulnerable.  And on the units we sell, if you don't put the encryption key in, you cannot join the network.
