The latest 2600 had a pretty good article on hacking WiFi.  WPA2 is
hackable, but it is way more difficult than WEP.  Pretty much any script
kiddie can hack WEP.

BTW, 2600 is worth following.  It's a small rag and only comes out
quarterly so it doesn't take a lot of effort. Most of the articles are
very poorly written, and many are nothing more than bragging.  But it
does give you a lot of insight into your vulnerability surface.
