If they want the info there are far easier ways to retrieve it.

The dictionary attack will generate 45,000 guesses/second against 128-bit generated keys on a PIII 500.

For any home network I would recommend these 3 things.
Non Broadcast SSID
WEP
Mac Filtering
These 3 things will keep most intruders out. I would also recommend that any computers on the network run a firewall.
