I suspect Josh means at the router end. That way you can connect to the 
wireless router without needing to struggle with wpa etc at the card end. It 
is often easier to get the thing connected first, then sort out the wpa or 
whatever encryption method is used. On ralinks for instance, wpa was terrible 
to set up a while back - so getting it to connect without encryption on the 
router proved things were working - then you could fiddle with the various 
methods to enable the encryption.
