>Description:
I suggest adding a note to the wi(4) man page to make it clear that WPA is not supported.  This will save people time when they they try to debug why WPA doesn't work, or, even better, stop them from attempting it with a card that uses this device driver.  
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Add to CAVEATS:

"The wi device driver supports WEP but does not support the WPA encryption standard."

 It seems the man pages for wpa_supplicant(8) references the man page
 for wi(4), so if wi(4) indeed does not support WPA, then
 wpa_supplicant(8) needs to be edited as well.  I can submit a patch for
 both, but I am unsure whether wi(4) supports WPA.

 wi(4) does not support WPA, but wpa_supplicant can be used with it to manage
 WEP and select between unencrypted networks.

 Thanks for the clarification.  I have attached a patch adding a caveat
 to wi(4) stating that it supports WEP but not WPA.
