>Description:
Using a wireless network with WEP needs to setup the authmode of the key exchange to shared or open.

Wireless NIC:

wi0: D Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card 
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC: ISL3873
wi: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.7), Station (1.3.5)

Bring the device up with the option "ifconfig interface authmode shared/open" fails: (everything else works fine only the authmode option is broken)


>How-To-Repeat:
user@host:~$ ifconfig wi0 authmode shared
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument

using authmode without any arguments:

user@host:~$ ifconfig wi0 authmode
ifconfig: authmode requires argument
>Fix:
i guess a broken driver modul is responsible for

State-Changed-Why:  
As the submitter suspects, the wi(4) driver does not appear to support 
shared auth.  Since shared auth is widely considered to be a bad idea 
and no one seems to be activly developing the wi(4) driver, I'm suspending 
this PR.  If someone implements shared auth at some point they can pick 
this up.
