A while back there was a conversation, maybe here, maybe somewhere
else, can't remember now...

It revolved around techniques for securing wifi without using wep or
wpa. Instead, wifi encryption was turned off and some other technique
was used.

Anyone know what I'm talking about or have some suggestions for making
life easier for users when wifi is used?

Also, if you have two access points with overlapping coverage areas,
is it best to set them to the same channel or different ones, and the
same SID or different?

Anyone here have experience making their own access points out of
Linux servers? What are the benefits of doing this?
