This is interesting, but there is one point in there that everyone
should pay attention to, the need for additional authentication. In our
MSU environment, all business conducted over wireless should use a VPN
of some sort. This is mentioned in the article, that even with
encryption between the client and access point, there should be an
additional post connection authentication. For MSU that is the VPN.
