The code that prints out the keys for the 802.11 wireless stuff has
the following it it:

void
ieee80211_status (int s, struct rt_addrinfo *info __unused)
{
...
			if (ireq.i_len == 0 || ireq.i_len > 13)
				continue;
...
}

Should that check really be there?  Newer wep does 256bits....  Not
that the rest of the code supports that, but I was just curious.

Second, should ifconfig report the wep key if run as root?  wicontrol
does if it is run as root, for example.  Any objections for fixing
this?
