interface, not things provided by the operating system.
User is assumed to have this bit of knowledge that WEP flag actually
means only hardware support, not support in general.
On another note WEP is actually supported by interface but driver authors
didn't bother to use it. So WEP flag doesn't represent actual capabilities of
the interface and this is again confusing.
When I type 'ifconfig <iface> ...' I am mostly interested what can I use from
that side, not what is supported by hardware. Is there any way to know what is
logically supported by network interface as passed to 'ifconfig' vs. what
is supported by hardware interface?
