SIWENCODEEXT is supported. However, the code looks like this:

	if ((alg == IW_ENCODE_ALG_TKIP) || (alg == IW_ENCODE_ALG_CCMP)) {
		... many things ...
	} else {
		/* WEP falls back to SIWENCODE */
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
	}

So this suggests that the driver expects user space to fall back to
using SIWENCODE if SIWENCODEEXT doesn't work.

Not sure what's the right response here. linux/wireless.h
suggests that SIWENCODEEXT is WPA-only. Was this a WPA setup ?
