Found this interesting article (http://www.thefeature.com/article?articleid=100663&ref=1201878)over at The Feature where it's possible that a OTS PDA or laptap can take down a whole network.

The author's saying that one device can disable an entire WLAN is about the same as saying that allowing a stranger to plug into your hardwire LAN could allow him to disable your network. So, he's not saying anything new.

It's all about securing your WLANs. There are still too many businesses that don't follow proper security practices, and that leaves them open to attack.

It just so happens that I spotted this last week and just posted a front page story about this. 8) It will go up tomorrow morning. I'll post a link here when it does to keep a single thread about this topic.
