Hmm, yes forgot about that.  We have openssl already in the base system 
so we can automatically include support (though not sure if the current 
version has everything).  As I said before it'd be good if someone were 
to pick up the port and fix it up and commit it.

This is a bug in driver_bsd.c.  It should check if no WPA is request and 
set the authentication mode appropriately. If you have a fix please send 
it to Jouni; otherwise I'll add it to my TODO list.
