Doubtful 8-)
A quick web search suggests it's some sort of deprecated security protocol.
If wavemon can see them they aren't very well hidden. I suppose it would
require an interloper to correctly guess both the SSID and the password.
That's certainly harder than just guessing a password.
Still, for a long time (months) there's been a consistent pattern of my
wifi getting flaky in the evening and then returning to "normal" the
next day. That strongly suggested some kind of adjacent channel inteference
when neighbors came home from work and started using their own wifi.
Seems to me it got better after going to Bookworm for a while,
then after an upgrade it got much worse. The moment I set the
network device to wifi explitly the connection came up and stayed up.
Having a single network device specified would skip any searching
algorithms used to find a usable access point. If the search
routine had some difficulty, that might explain at least part
of the problem and the unexpected "solution".
