Use WPA, choose a good key. I don't see the problem.

DoS attacks are one problem...albeit more of an annoyance than a security risk per-se. I'll trust your "good key" includes extended ascii chars. Anything short of that can be bruted in ~10% of the time.

The main "problem" I see is wardrivers getting more educated and finding specific targets worthy of lengthy pen-testing. If I was randomly driving around snagging 802.11* packets and saw a lot of traffic to sites that scream "there's money here" (poker site addresses, seller helper sites for ebay, etc), I'd concentrate my next datamining project on those places salavating over the possibility of a big score...then find a way in, running a modded dictionary/sequential char generator for months if necessary if I have reason to believe I could make a 5 or 6 figure "payday".

Once you're specifically targeted...it's just a matter of time. Hopefully that never happens to you and I'm just a paranoid freak [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
