[PATCH 1/2 v2] airo: fix IW_AUTH_ALG_OPEN_SYSTEM

IW_AUTH_ALG_OPEN_SYSTEM is ambiguous in set_auth for WEP as
wpa_supplicant uses it for both no encryption and WEP open system.
Cache the last mode set (only of these two) and use it here.

This allows wpa_supplicant to work with unencrypted APs.

It seems like this will work; but to make the code clearer, define a
small static function like:

static inline void set_auth_type(struct airo_info *local, int auth_type)
{
	local->config.authType = local->last_auth = auth_type;
}

and call that from everywhere that you're currently setting authType and
last_auth, except for airo_set_auth().  Less code and less probability
to forget to set last_auth in the future.

Good idea, thanks.

BTW. What about WPA? Found some old patches adding WPA support to the airo 
driver. Something on your web: http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/airo-wpa/ and 
a "recent" (4 years) version at 
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/airo-wpa/branches/kernel/

It looks ugly (wpa_enabled module parameter) but seems to work with WPA-PSK. 
Do you remember what's the problem with switching between WPA and WEP? I'm 
going to remove the wpa_enabled module parameter and allow run-time switching 
between WPA and WEP to see what breaks.

I think the module parameter was the deal-breaker.  If you can get it
working reliably with runtime switching based on the supplicant's
requested config, that would be great.  One problem was that you cannot
require the WPA-enabled firmware, so you'll have to make sure that
anything that does WPA-type stuff is protected by the "wpa_capable" flag
or whatever it was.
