WPA2-PSK is the best wireless encryption available right now and it can be cracked. There is no safe way to use wireless. Where there is a will, there is a way. :)

The thing about security is that someone who really wants to packet sniff my data could simply break into the telephone box down the road and tap my fibre.

It doesn't have to be over WIFI it's just a little less secure. Spoofing my mac address AND cracking my WEP is not so easy when my beam is very narrow and you would need some pretty heavy equipment and elevation to find the signal in the first place.

Brad, I personally use a putty SSH tunnel on my laptop-with-wifi, but that is an application level tunnel - you can only encrypt/tunnel one TCP port per tunnel, so I just use it to access my web proxy... everything loaded by my browser is encrypted.

I'm sure there's some sort of VPN solution which would be able to encrypt everything seamlessly, with a couple of 'nix boxes at each end quietly doing their thing. I looked into VPNs a while ago but gave up because the SSH solution - in my specific case - was easier. :)
