    Hi:

    And when one wireless client sends a packet to a second wireless client by way of an access point, the packet is encrypted/decrypted twice!

    The name WEP was chosen to suggest that WLAN with WEP based authentication, WEP based encryption, and no physical barriers, was about as safe to use as Ethernet with physical barriers, no authentication, and no encryption.

    I hope this helps. Thanks. /criss
