4de67820e0 Incorporate feedback about the level of security that WEP gives you:
Not much, but it is better than nothing as it discourages
	the extremely lazy.
Please read the actual text (the last text was softer than the commit
message about it) before giving me feedback.

Also, in the last commit I also tagged the newly optional elements in
the command line as optional.

WEP IS INSECURE.  DO NOT USE IT.

b3e6a27a70 If the first argument doesn't start with '-' assume that it is an
interface.  This augments the default to an appropriate interface
code.

# These programs should be merged into ifconfig, ala NetBSD, but that's
# a fight for another day.

cc8a57c9b9 When an interface isn't specified use wi0 as the default.
This gets around a segmentation fault that occurs when the interface
isn't specified first before any of the options.

307f8d6aa8 1. In key printing routine, the loop variable was j, but inside the
loop was referencing i.

2. Print keys in hex rather than ascii by default.

3. Add a -a flag to reverse #2 on demand.

648f1c0043 Add support for WEP (encryption) for silver and gold WaveLAN/IEEE turbo cards.
Also update wicontrol to enable/disable encryption, set WEP keys and set the
TX key index. Silver cards only have 40-bit keys. This is something of a quick
hack, but it works well enough for me to commit this from the LinuxWorld
exhibit floor.

The WEP support only shows up if you have a card that supports it.

d0da4e010d Update the WaveLAN/IEEE driver:
- Convert to new bus attachment scheme. Thanks to Blaz Zupan for doing
  the initial work here. One thing I changed was to have the attach
  and detach routines work like the PCI drivers, which means that in
  theory you should be able to load and unload the driver like the PCI
  NIC drivers, however the pccard support for this hasn't settled down
  yet so it doesn't quite work. Once the pccard work is done, I'll have
  to revisit this.

- Add device wi0 to PCCARD. If we're lucky, people should be able to
  install via their WaveLAN cards now.

- Add support for signal strength caching. The wicontrol utility has
  also been updated to allow zeroing and displaying the signal strength
  cache.

- Add a /sys/modules/wi directory and fix a Makefile to builf if_wi.ko.
  Currently this module is only built for the i386 platform, though once
  the pccard stuff is done it should be able to work on the alpha too.
  (Theoretically you should be able to plug one of the WaveLAN/IEEE ISA
  cards into an alpha with an ISA slot, but we'll see how that turns out.

- Update LINT to use only device wi0. There is no true ISA version of
  the WaveLAN/IEEE so we'll never use an ISA attachment.

- Update files.i386 so that if_wi is dependent on card.

7a9444f4de Add support to wicontrol(8) and wi(4) for enabling and configuring

07346f9ac9 Modify wicontrol(8) and wi(4) to allow setting the frequency of the
WaveLAN's radio modem. The default is whatever the NIC uses since NICs
sold in different countries may default to different frequencies. (The
Lose95/LoseNT software doesn't let you select the channel so it's probably
not really meant to be changed.)

fd47563fe4 Add device driver support for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA
adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol
utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.

This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)

Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
