I've updated the driver a little so it is closer to NetBSD's driver 
which apparently has some WEP support according to the commit message of 
Revision 1.33

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ic/ath.c

I've moved my old driver to
http://www.wand.net.nz/~mjl12/dev-ath.diff.1

and put the new one at
http://www.wand.net.nz/~mjl12/dev-ath.diff

I tried getting WEP going locally, but had no success, although I've had 
trouble in the past with seemingly non developmental drivers, so it 
could just be me / my setup.

All I can suggest is give it a shot, if that's possible.

Note that I've done more digging through the lists and now see the 
significance of Sam's patch of a few months ago.  I had not applied the 
patch correctly when I tried it out, so I'll go looking that patch again 
with a bit more of a careful eye.
