A DOS nuisance, yes. Without IPSec they can occupy the same frequency 
but they will not talk to any hosts or over any wires I have control 
over.

IPSec should be built into wireless access points if the manufacturers 
of wireless equipment actually cared about security. Lacking that, I'll 
have to make my own access points out of FreeBSD systems.
