This is a short intro for writing new AP drivers for changing WEP keys
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you plan to implement a new aeswepd driver for changing WEP keys on
remote APs or other WLAN devices consider the following points:

1) Have a look on src/iwkey.[ch]. That is the implementation for
   changing WEP keys on the local machine by using the Linux wireless
   extensions. Create a new copy of these files and adjust it to your
   needs. You have to create a new global instance of "struct key_api"
   and fill it in.

2) Edit src/keyapi.c and modify key_api_get() to return your structure
   you defined earlier when the given argument matches your driver.

3) Make a patch and send it to me.
