Interested readers might also like to have a look at http://www.gnucitizen.org/, where there's some good descriptions of bypassing some products' poor authentication even after you set a strong password...

The BT Home Hub being a particularly nice example!

This is all good stuff, but there seems to be at least one glaring ommission in Vista and XP wireless config. I just cannot see any way of restricting connection to preferred SSIDs and totally preventing manual connection to other networks. Am I missing something ? We want our users to have wireless in our buildings but never get anywhere near public hotspots.

John> You can absolutely control which wireless networks your users can connect machines to via group policy - both on a standalone machine and domain joined. I'll write a detailed post on the subject.
