All through the time I spent developing WLAN software, security was always the bottleneck. We always had to keep one thing at the back of our minds - if security isn't improved, all this work is gonna get flushed down the drain!
Fears about security have prevented WLAN from achieving all that it can potentially achieve. It was ridiculously easy for someone to break into a wireless LAN. 802.11i was seen to be the saviour, but the infighting among the various stakeholders always prevented the mechanisms defined under 802.11i from being accepted globally.
I hope things will change for the better now!
