My network works fine in a "naked" environment (no key, broadcasting ESSID,
etc.) However my neighbors have been accessing our network and slowing the
whole show down.  

 

I need help getting encryption to work properly, when I fill in a key in
ifcfg-eth1 it doesn't connect to my router at all, but to the one down the
street that gives such weak signal strength I can't do anything, and it's
also an exposed connection.

 

Has anyone had any good luck with wireless encryption and gotten it to be
usable?

 

-Brian
