Depends what devices.  Microsoft has already shipped patches for
Windows 7, 8, and 10, and many network equipment providers from Cisco
to Ubiquiti have too.  I've already updated my one Win 7 computer and
my access point.

iOS and Android are the main issues, and I suppose firmware-only IOT
devices although in most cases it's not obvious to me what useful
attacks you can make on a wifi camera through Krack that you can't do
easier some other way.  Krack requires that you're within wifi range,
after all.
