[TriLUG] why not IPSec for encryption for wifi

I just found out the IPSec works with ipv4 (I last played 
with ipv6 about 8yrs ago and dropped it when I realised I 
could only talk to myself with ipv6).

IPSec seems to handle the encryption that WEP and WPA are 
doing. Why isn't IPSec used instead of WEP and WPA?

Thanks Joe
