I would like to see all the drivers in the tree updated to use the new
functionality. Most drivers should be capable of doing WPA, albeit
with some work. If wpa_supplicant and hostapd work out well (and I
believe they will) I'd like to see them brought into the base system and
properly integrated.
There's really no reason to use static key'd WEP any more now that we
can build WPA authenticators and commercial AP's are supporting WPA-PSK.
