This post discusses how one could use Reaver to make use of a flaw in WPS to recover a WPA password. Tomato and DD-WRT firmwares don't support WPS so my network is safe. Lesson: buy and use a router that you can flash Tomato or DD-WRT.
On another note, WEP passwords could also be compromised using BackTrack.
