The configuration looks mostly fine to me.

Wireless networks are *very* insecure, and you trust yours completely.  

You may want to reconsider that policy, or you may not, depending on how
much risk you feel there is.

If you /don't/ use WPA, or some other rekeying strategy for WEP, you
have a good chance of someone getting in that way, though.

I usually recommend using a VPN solution, typically OpenVPN, over a WEP
protected WLAN as a reasonable level of security.
