If the WEP locked down so that only the specific necessary system can use
it? If so then what is the value of compromising the WEPd network? Of one
gains nothing from the attack, then WEP is probably enough. Regardless of
how broken it is, you'd be basically running WEP as a courtesy, telling the
attackers "You don't want to be here." I run the wireless network in my
apartment on the same principal (the only thing accessible is the wrong side
of a VPN server), yes I've had the WEP key broken a few times, and I get a
few spurious connection attempts per day, but nothing to worry about.
