I feel that WEP could work better if it was implemented better, any system broadcasting the same key for a long period of time is putting themself at risk to a cracker. Although in saying that its not always possible with a great detail of traffic on the WAP becuase as has already been proven it can be broken very fast and easy. i think an encryption key that then further generated another key based on the date would be fair more affective (if this already exists let me know and ill shutup)

As for not running DHCP i really dont think that makes alot of difference, everyone knows you can use arping to find the address range.
