    How do you find out what will connect via what apart from trial and error.

    I know it's not entirely related to the subject, but from a security standpoint if you can avoid wireless connections then do so. MAC address filtering isn't 100% (MAC addresses are fairly easy to spoof) and don't get me started on ARP poisoning, WPA-PSK passkey weaknesses (has been cracked under TKIP), etc.
