    [PATCH] softmac: complete shared key authentication · 76ea4c7f
    Daniel Drake authored
    This patch finishes of the partially-complete shared key authentication
    implementation in softmac.
    
    The complication here is that we need to encrypt a management frame during
    the authentication process. I don't think there are any other scenarios where
    this would have to happen.
    
    To get around this without causing too many headaches, we decided to just use
    software encryption for this frame. The softmac config option now selects
    IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP so that we can ensure this available. This also involved
    a modification to some otherwise unused ieee80211 API.
