Err... patch 5 moves this line into the for loop. I moved these in
separate patches because:

* Indicating available ciphers based on cipher capability is obviously
correct.
* Indicating WPA/WPA2 based on cipher capability is not obviously
correct - and we might want the drivers to indicate this explicitly.
* The latter patch can be NACK'd without affecting the former, or the
rest of the series (well, apart from patch 22).

As it happens, no-one has objected (yet).

Apologies if I've completely misunderstood you.


Thanks,

Dave.
