 O'Reilly Network -- Wireless LAN Security: A Short History
Once a wireless network has been located, there was originally only one standardized provision for restricting access to a wireless network in the 802.11 standard, and it required implementing WEP, the Wired Equivalent Privacy specification [4].
Although WEP was the first serious attempt to fix the insecurity of wireless LANs, it was hamstrung from the beginning because it was designed during the infamous era in which strong cryptographic systems fell under the same export regulations as weapons of mass destruction.
Secure wireless gateways can be built in such a way that an SSL-enabled web browser is all that's required on the client side, obviating the need for special VPN or 802.1x clients, and opening the field to any wireless device that speaks 802.11b and SSL.
