But they use the Hermes Chipset (I have a couple here) and
won't act in AP mode - my Mac's see them as "peer to peer"

never moved, they just have piles of useless stationary) are very
sensitive.

Gold/Silver doesn't really matter as WEP is useless for any
security against all but the most lazy.  IPSEC is a fine way
to secure your links.
