That's what some teachers got to do after the Network became encrypted. They took their computers to the Administrator and he put the key in for them and they are happily surfing. Other teachers that seldom use their laptops, brought it to school only to find out that they cannot use the wireless network because it has a new key that they need to put in to be able to use it. This happened without warning and some of my colleagues are mad. I do not know what to tell them. I wish I knew more about wireless networking.
While I sympathize with their plight, in this regard, I do have note that were I the networking supervisor, my sympathy would be limited.
I imagine that this person would have sent out numerous notices that they would be implementing wireless encryption before doing so...as would be standard practice (I could be wrong...this person may not have done so, but I doubt that to be the case).
Given that a responsible person would have left important passwords with someone who wasn't away on holiday this might not be the case.
