Not only laptops, but other consumer equipment uses WiFi: The Nintendo DS 
Lite will only do WEP. So if you want to be able to use the Nintendo store, 
you have to enable WEP on your access point. There are also such things as 
consoles, digital photo frames, PVRs etc, which exist in huge variety.

Cheers, Ben
