| Patch prevents call set_wep_key() with zero key length. That fix long
| standing regression since commit c0380693520b1a1e4f756799a0edc379378b462a
| "airo: clean up WEP key operations". Additionally print call trace when
| someone will try to use improper parameters, and remove key.len = 0
| assignment, because it is in not possible code path.
