You have to realize what Jeff is trying to tell you, which is that any
common name for the ESSID has *already* been hashed.

In that case, WPA2/PSK is worthless.


WPA2/PSK is one thing that is needed. Another is a better ESSID.

Use a common name, and you immediately have no security no matter what
you set the security to.
