[arch-general] Proposed netcfg expansion

[Jeff Mickey]

The problem is slightly larger than iwconfig support or lack thereof.
WEP passphrases are merely keys to hash into the hex encryption code.
iwconfig _will_ allow you to use an ascii representation of the hex:

iwconfig wlan0 key s:somepasswd

But there is no guarantee that your router is merely using the ascii
as the hex, it could also be hashing on the MS Windows algorithm.

Try putting "s:blahblah" in the KEY part for netcfg, and see if it
works for you.
