I agree with Dan Williams that this message is not critical. Michael Buesch
uses WPA with mac80211,
and his version doesn't support SIOCSIWAUTH either.

I'm beginning to think that there is a problem with certain AP's. What is
the make and model of
yours? What firmware version is it using? I cannot connect to my Linksys
WRT54G V5 with or without
WPA enabled. I'm running v1.02.00 of the firmware (the latest).

its a rt2500usb device used with hostapd  (on FC6 x86_64)
