This sucks. Big time.
Mac laptop users seem to suffer most from this, but it seems various
cards used on i386 don't support WPA either, at least under Linux with
free software.
"Wireless encryption" is fairly useless for any real security from the
user's point of view, anyway: any passwords and stuff must go through an
encrypted higher level anyway (ssh, imaps, pops, etc).
If we can't talk HUT into allowing non-WPA, we should make sure there
are lots of cables and switches everywhere.
