That all makes sense. I've been reworking the set_key() callback though so that the driver will be able to make most decisions without extra information, for example I've removed the TKIP+WME=broken flag in favour of telling the driver with each key whether it may be used with WME. > Then again, I think I'm actually fine with removing this now and see if > anyone complains..

I'll do that later. johannes
