Mwah. Instead of WPA2 you could run a VPN (OpenVPN, SSH, IPsec) over it.

"Using Serial<>BT" - I find this an excelent idea. Makes it easy to not need crawling around etc. The one downside I see is: farraday cages
True, my suggestion is not meant for long distance through the server room, but it still makes the N900 'mobile in the hand' so to say. Ie. you can perform a pirouette without tripping over a cable. And given some devices are only accessable via RS232 its either RS232 or RS232 <-> USB/BT/??? adapter. Although the issue I thought of was the insecurity of BlueTooth.

"Alternative to flash dongles" - a flash dongle that uses a microsd is what I would have expected the usb dongles to be from the start.
****, I cannot agree more.

Sadly none of the manufacturers bothered with it.
Almost none
