>How-To-Repeat:
The message appears each time wiconfig(8) is executed on the WaveLAN
wireless adapter. I have not tried other adapters supported by wiconfig(8).
This problem did not happen with previous NetBSD releases (at least until NetBSD 2.0.2, I chosed not upgrading the laptop to 2.1).

I want to add a note to this problem report. In previous NetBSD
releases (up to NetBSD 2.0.2 at least, don't know 2.1 as I am using
this NetBSD release on my PowerEdge server only) I was able to see
the WEP encryption keys when using wiconfig(8) as root, and I was
not able to see these keys when invoked as an unprivileged user (but
the "Operation not supported" message was not shown in both cases).
Now, I am unable to see the encryption keys even as root. Hopefully,
these keys are being used yet.
Best regards,
Igor.

That functionality has been moved to ifconfig(8) in netbsd-3.

Indeed, you are right. Now keys are shown when displaying information
about the network interfaces. Thanks for the advice! If I am not wrong
ifconfig(8) shows the WEP keys in netbsd-2 too. Certainly it is much
better showing that information in a single place.
Ok, in this case the "SIOCGWAVELAN: Operation not supported" message is
not related with keys now being shown in the output of wiconfig(8).
It was just a guess, I did not know that this functionality was removed
from the wiconfig(8) command and supposed that the new behaviour of
this command was related with the message.
Cheers,
Igor.

I have just observed that the "SIOCGWAVELAN: Operation not supported"
message is only shown when using hex WEP keys of the maximum length
(at least for 40/64-bit keys length, don't know about other sizes
as I am currently using a Lucent Technologies silver card). It does
not appear when using ASCII keys. (few than 40-bit length keys?)
Perhaps a wrong keys buffer size? Just a though...
Best regards,
Igor.
