[MLB-WIRELESS] wireless security?

[Andrew Dean]

Ok, i've had a think about this a few times and asked around no one seems
sure...

Whats the best way to secure my wireless link? alot of people are talking
about VPN'ing and IPsec etc.. etc.. but thats mainly to protect sniffing of
that date right? as like most people who will be setting up links
in/with/for MW i don't really care if people are sniffing my traffic...
nothing sensitive being sent, what i do care about is people connecting to
my AP (at the moment its a real netcomm 2mbit AP, but will be changing it
over to a old laptop with entrasys card ) and accessing things on the
network, I guess i want to control who has access to it? If someone asks for
access in the area, thats fine i'm more than happy to give them access, but
i want to know who is on it etc... i guess the best way would be to limit
access by MAC address? is this possible? any other suggestions...
