Apologies -- I had read this when installing FreeS/WAN, but forgot how much useful stuff was in there, including your contribution about many tunnels from a single gateway. Are the KAME people reading this list, and if so, do they have equivalent data that they could post a URL for? I know nothing about KAME.

Maybe not beyond the ability -- the wireless products I've bought all had setup guides that walk you through the procedure of setting up WEP (on Windows) -- but a lot of purchasers don't think about the importance of security. And those who do set up WEP often don't think about AirSnort. Which is why I've put a FreeS/WAN server on my net at work (both for wireless and for home users), and why I am so bothersome about the issue of clueless end users with NAT boxes who complain that they can't get ipsec to work.
