Crypto Panic
There's nothing like coming back from the pub, tired and tipsy, to read that the TKIP protocol used to secure wireless networks may be broken and then scrambling to find out whether your home wireless network uses TKIP, and if it does whether the proprietary firmware on your O2 broadband router can be configured to change that.

Looks like I'm using WPA2 with AES encryption, without enabling WPA backwards compatibility, so I should be OK.

Broken is a bit strong. Certainly limping though.
I spent the weekend discovering there is such a thing as a wireless PCI card that doesn't support WPA2/AES. Only 11 quid from Aria for a replacement, fortunately.
Down side is my phone is WPA1 only, but I can live without that till I get a new phone.
