Just been to a BCS Cisco Conference. I was talking to one of the engineers at the end and asked him about the de-auth attack and whether it will still work with 802.11i.
Apparently, they dont see this as a major threat so this attack will therefore work on the 802.11i!

Could you give a short "what is" on "de-auth" as you use the term?
