    network+ should be a easy grab for you, might as well get it to beef up your qualifications

    Depends mostly on how much experience you have. Understand that getting the CEH certification and actually becoming skilled at "penetration testing" are two different things. CEH is an introduction to penetration testing (although a very detailed and complex introduction). So, honestly, someone without actual experience in security (IDS log analysis, firewall administration, etc), it might be kinda hard, especially with the newer version 5 of the exam. It's much more accurate and relevant than previous versions, but it's also more difficult.
