For a variety of reasons I got motivated to play with my network and my servers over the weekend, and the results were very beneficial security-wise.

First I upgraded all of my access points to WPA2-PSK. They had all been using WPA, and the limitations of my old laptop's wireless adapter had previously prevented this move. My new laptop has an Intel PRO wireless 2200 card, so there was nothing stopping me anymore. I got the laptops, and the Nintendo Wii configured using WPA2. Next came my Palm TX. I suddenly realized that it doesn't support WPA2! A quick search revealed an update available on Palm's website.... for $6. Okaaaaaay. I don't really understand why they are charging for this. A new Windows Mobile device would have WPA2 support included. Besides that, the description doesn't make it clear to me whether the update adds support for WPA2-PSK or just WPA2-Enterprise. I'm not sure what I'll do about this yet, but I'm sticking with WPA2 so the TX is going to have to remain offline for now.
