I've read some articles which say that WPA-PSK is the best security for
wireless, but this seems to be available only for Infrastructure mode
networks. As soon as I select ad-hoc as the type of network, WPA-PSK
authentication gets changed to WPA-None.
What does WPA-None mean?
Is this setup (authentication=WPA-None, encryption=TKIP) at all secure.
The other thing I've read is that for a home-adhoc network, WEP encryption
with OPEN authentication is "OK", meaning not great but better than nothing,
in that it won't stop a hacker but might stop less-computer-literate
neighbours.
But how does WEP/OPEN compare with WPA-None/TKIP ??
