Cracking Wireless Access Points

Would WEP in combination with MAC address filtering over enough "levels of frustration" to prevent this type of hack?

No, MAC address filtering doesn't do much if the person knows how to do this. You can "sniff" random packets floating through the air and see what mac addresses are in those packets. Then setup a wireless device with the same MAC. However, if both devices with the same mac are on at the same time they will get confused and have not network access. So it is obvious when this is happening. Unfortunately I have one router that is WEP because tha tis all the DS can do. At some point I will put it outside the network but it is being used for something else right now. GI, you meant WPK, not WMA :)

Err, WPA.

So this doesnt work on a PSP?

The other thing is don't use a word as your WEP key if you're using wep. That guy cracked his own gateways because he use a huge word database file to do it with. Get creative with WEP passwords, use 128bit and use the full amount of characters to fill in your wep key. Make your password a sentence with 0's as spaces and stuff like that. Passwords can always be broken in time but you don't need to make it easy.

Other wifi tips. Don't broadcast your SSID, use MAC Filtering, use a good strong password sentence as recommended above and use WPA 256bit encryption if possible otherwise 128bit wep. THats pretty much as good as you're going to get for wifi. It's a very vulnerable technology, the best you can do is use all the security measures together to make it not worth the time to hack when there's an easier one to hack in the air too. Another idea is to setup a 2nd 'dummy' wifi access point that's outside your firewall. That way people can jump on and only go out to theinternet. If you give them something right in front of their eyes, maybe they won't look for your internal network wifi.
