Since a few days I get "ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument"
while trying to set up wep with up to date ndis stuff on 5.4.

ATM I use an older ndis build which still works.

wlan_wep seems to exist at 6.0 only:
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/modules/wlan_wep/?v=RELENG54
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/modules/wlan_wep/?v=RELENG6

Is there some secret I don't know about?
