Are you saying that WEP is even _more_ insecure than that says?

And I've forgotten, are the new encryption standards for WiFi just
WEP v2, and therfore easy to break?  Or have people come up with a
standard that is actually reasonably secure?

I posted that because I remember talking to some people recently who
told me "if you use newer cards, they don't use the weak keys, and
thus are safe."  That article disproves that assumption.
