The current hostap.git snapshot disables all WEP support by default in
the build. If you really need to use WEP for something, adding
CONFIG_WEP=y into hostapd/.config will include the old functionality
into the build. That said, WEP should really not be used for anything
anymore. It is obsolete and does not provide any kind real security.
