[CoLoCo] set up one secure ap and one game ap

[Joey Stanford]

Jim,

For the WEP one you want mac address filtering.  Specifically, add the
mac address of your nintendo and then set the option to restrict all
mac addresses except for that one.

Also, for the two wep settings (open vs shared) you want OPEN since
it's easier to crack shared (generates more noise).
