Re: [trinity-users] Re: WEP connection problem

Off the top of my head Ubuntu ships with non-free firmware by default and allows insecure operations (such as using WEP--WEP is practically useless and provides no real protection) by default. Debian has a more privacy- and security-conscious stance, and does not ship non-free firmware by default among other restrictions. Personally I prefer the Debian approach, but that is due to my years of experience with Linux and my preference to know of potential security problems. Most users (including myself when I was just getting started so long ago) instead find this frustrating and spend long hours with Google trying to figure out why things are not working. ;-) Tim
