The encryption is being handled by mac80211, wpa_supplicant, and the device. The
"encryption key:off" should be ignored. The wireless extension tools such as
iwconfig are being phased out and do not always have the best information.
Looking at the driver code, we need the patch below to enable the device:
Index: wireless-testing/drivers/net/wireless/p54/p54pci.c
===================================================================
--- wireless-testing.orig/drivers/net/wireless/p54/p54pci.c

I will do a formal submission of the patch and edit the wiki.
