[plug] Just works wireless card.

[Jim Householder]

A while back I inherited an HP 6000-something laptop running XP.  When I
tried to secure it by MAC, I found I had to manually enter an address.
I picked one already in the system and added 1 to it.  Worked fine.

As a security risk, probably inside info would be needed...
