Well, that depends.  For example, if you aren't using some form of
strong authentication (i.e. smart cards, SecureID tokens, etc.) then its
possible for someone to steal a laptop, use something like Cain (from
the package Cain & Able) to extract their password from the registry.
With that and a known wireless laptop, the attacker can then access your
whole network from the parking lot (or the neighbor's house, or 7 miles
away, etc.)

While the same password vulnerability exists for non-wireless
environments, it does mean that the attacker would have to have physical
access to the building to use the credentials.

Well, that really depends, doesn't it.  We're doing IPSEC using AES for
wireless on a test network.  It's a good deal more secure than our wired
network, which is still plain text.

Or did you just assume that everyone is using WEP?
