    you can't enable port-security on access points (wlan), can you? how can you protect yourself again wireless arp cache poisoning? once an attacker is associated with the network, he can sniff all the traffic and perform arp-attacks and put himself in a MITM-position...
    would a strong authentication be a solution for this problem?
