Yes, using etheral it's unuseful cos package is already decrypted when
it's read:)
However I have tested with another distro (it was configured to work
with no-crypt), and it doesn't work.

However, I know that there are many security-problems for wireless
connections. WPA apart, it's further possible to inforce via software
this connection and avoid external connections to own router?

Thanks,
