I refuse to use wep, one of the issues with the otherwise nice looking wm6 rom that forced me to downgrade.
Agreed - WEP is useless at this point...it can be cracked in minutes these days. If you're using WEP and somebody wants in your network, MAC filtering isn't gonna stop them.

Not having access to WPA networks is a bummer for me, but I've got my laptop with me most of the time to find APs to hop onto, and worst case I just tether anyway. I can probably count with my hands how many times I actually needed wifi. The only thing it'd be really nice to have the wifi (for me anyway) is to use a softphone because of the latency issues over the air.
