	That would be a bug in the driver. The "restricted" setting on
the card should always work with the most secure setting on the Access
Point. If it doesn't, it's a BUG.

	That's why the driver offer an Aironet specific API. If you
don't like Wireless Extensions, don't use it.

	Try to configure a Lucent or 3Com XJack with your Aironet
Access Point and you will understand what I'm talking about. You can
also try to configure your Aironet card with a Lucent Access Point and
you will come to the same conclusion.
	If you live in an Aironet only world, where other products
don't exist, please use the ACU tool.
