How secure is this host AP? Since this host AP does not support
WEP any one can get access to this Linux Host Access Point.

How can I make Host AP securer so that my neighbors don't get
access to my AP?

I thought about iptables that just allow certain MAC address, but
MAC address can be "spoofed".

So what is the solution?
