I can get a 2Wire Home Portal 100W that we've had lying around where I work for the last few years. I plugged it in to make sure it would at least turn on and found out it's apparently made by Proxim (at least that's what NetStumber claimed as the vendor when I ran it). I also noticed WEP is on by default it seems. I was reading the owner's manual for it and it seems like this device can be used as a AP, router, or a bridge. Is that correct? Is it worth me taking this? I have an old compaq pc running Red Hat 7.3 that I can hook up to the 2Wire, if it can be used as a bridge, and run Kismet to try and detect other people running NetStumbler.
