First of all, DSL is fantastic! I'm running it on a centrino laptop.

It seems that more and more wifi networks are implementing WPA or 802.1x security. I would like to have this capability in DSL to connect via a supplicant like wpa_supplicant. I know it might be a pain to make it easy to configure as it generally involves some tweaking and updating of wifi drivers/firmware, but I feel obligated to suggest this as it is becoming a trend in wifi connectivity as simple WEP protection is hardly a defense anymore. Also intel bg2200 and 2100 wifi is very popular on current laptops.
