what's worse, Nintendo C&D'd someone who was working on adding WPA1 support to the DS firmware back in 2008 or so. (if you can find the source for this, please send it to me - i'd love for this to not just be something i (and perhaps my hacked-DS-having college friends) remember from reading about it online when it happened, but bit rot and search engines suck)
waluigi fucks, dude!

in reply to @invis's post:
I presume the main reason the eReader was like that was specifically the way that it needed power (since the link cables were designed for connecting two consoles together, they're not designed to provide power). Which...I understand, but at the same time can't help but think would have been better if it just used a battery..
I'll never forget the day my dad replaced the Linksys with a WPA router, and how I had to deal with the fact that I couldn't play Metroid Prime Hunters (a pre-DSi Wi-Fi game) online anymore.
The GBA had a "multiboot" mode that allowed it to load and execute code from the link cable
this is how our old flash card's flashing tool worked!
you had to connect the GBA with the provided link cable to USB cable and do the start+select thing and the GBA would launch into this little progress bar program with a PNG of deathscythe from gundam wing in the background which was always REALLY FUNNY
EDIT: it was a Flash2Advance cart and apparently it and especially the link->usb cable is very rare? funny...
Nintendo (or some hardware affiliate of the time) actually did have a solution to the WEP issue!
They sold a USB dongle that acted as a WEP access point (DS exclusive) that you connected to a computer on the network you wanted to play on. It was pretty short range, less than 15 feet, and was pretty annoying to set up, iirc.
