Hi all,
There was a commit to unset the IW_ENCODE_NOKEY flag for WEP keys.
"libertas: Don't set IW_ENCODE_NOKEY when returning WEP keys."
Without this change, the IW_ENCODE_NOKEY flag is set for WEP keys and then iwconfig command would display "****-****-**" as "Encryption key".
After this change, the IW_ENCODE_NOKEY flag is NOT set for WEP keys and then iwconfig command will display plain text of the WEP key ("1234-5678-90" in my case, below).
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"Cisco1-G"

Link Quality=92/100 Signal level=-66 dBm Noise level=-94 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

Was there any reason to not set IW_ENCODE_NOKEY for WEP keys?
Is it feasible to set IW_ENCODE_NOKEY for WEP switch case?
