Wii - Network questions...

[iMc]

Does anyone know if it supports WPA? Or is it just WEP like the DS?

Also does it have an ethernet port?

[Trippledence]

I think ethernet is gonna be supported via a USB adaptor, and wireless built in. At least that is what I recall hearing.

I don't know about the encryption for the wireless although I presume it has WEP. As for ethernet, I understand that you will need a USB adapter as Trippledence said.
