That's why I don't use these methods for security

You have to consider wireless networks as inherently insecure, whether you use wep, wpa or any of this complicated key crap. They were asking for wireless acces here at my corp for a long time and I had to finally give in and implement it. Heres how:
cheapo linksys router covers all the space. SSID = linksys, NO WEP, NO WPA. MAC filtering so you have to ask me for access. router is connected directly to a cable modem, which is good since most times it's some visitor who needs only internet acces. access to the corporate network must go out the cable modem AND back in through the T1, using citrix or VPN.

SO I have security that I don't need to worry about, while providing the wreless access that is needed.
If someone breaks into the wireless, it only looks like some linksys router with a cable modem, with NO info about the company which it serves.
