Dan, I'm not sure it's that simple, either.

There are *two* WiFi connections in the Debian-box to Printer case:
i Debian box to Access Point
ii Printer to Access Point

Brian's idea is good for the connection from the Debian box to the 
Access Point1.

But the connection between the printer, and the Access Point remains 
vulnerable - particularly to the possible all-zero key.

Your advice is extremely close, and very pertinent, but *both* clients 
need to be fixed.  So Celejar's powerline link may be a reasonable 
solution for his case.

regards, Ron
