Re: how is this wrong?

Don't blame 802.11b.

Perhaps they are still selling that hardware because therre is a market for it, but every vendor also offers an AP that is capable of WPA or WPA/WPA2...

Hek yea there's a market. I have been using cantennas and Linky/DD-wrt wireless access pushing 2 years now at home to anonomously DL movies by the terrabyte. I have all their passwords reset so all my setups stay put and the trouble making riff raff stays off. Nobody complains and nothing ever changes. Booting me is as simple as pushing the reset button and it has only happened twice. But I am surrounded with perpetual open access so it's 2 down and 20 still available. And I haven't even plugged in my converted satilite dish for more distant choices. I love WiFi and I love being anonomous...

This is one of the reasons (and bluetooth interference) that I've gone to EOP (Ethernet over Powerline)... hardly anyone uses it, and its encrypted as well on my own network. Distance is also limited.
