Why would a vendor ship a wireless router with the wireless disabled? Secured, yes. Disabled, no. Seems to me, admittedly a non-coder, a relatively trivial task to make the device boot into a web screen that prompts the administrator to define a WPA/WPA2 key when it's first plugged in. Make it so it won't run until this key is defined. -- Michael Fraase mfraase at farces.com www.michaelfraase.com > -----Original Message----- > Why not ship it with wireless disabled, so at least it's not > a gaping security hole the minute it's plugged in?
