Our friend Matthijs from iRex posted a quick hack which allows you to enable WPA encryption. Although there is no GUI for it yet, you can enable WPA yourself if you have the latest iLiad firmware 2.9 and the shell execution script installed, by using the following command line:

Code:

wireless.sh start MY_WPA_SSID wpa "Very secret passphrase"

Encrypting your WiFi connection with WPA is highly recommended if you don't want your neighbor to sniff out your surfing habits.
