Re: Is it possible that modern wireless card only supports WPA and not WEP or this is a bug in the driver?

WEP is always supported. The WEP capability bit means the driver uses
the hardware. Many driver writers were too lazy to implement full
driver support and just fall back on the host to do crypto.
I see. I am sure anybody who doesn't know this will get confused and will
have the same question.
Isn't it better to have 2 separate flags in CAPS: for example WEP and WEPHW?
WEP would mean that WEP is supported and WEPHW would mean that it's supported
through hardware.
