Sorry Joe, English is not my mother tongue and I misunderstand your
comment, I thought "Some will say this is doing too many things in a
single patch" did meant "You are on the limit, but it is ok to send it
in one patch" but I see it really means "please, rewrite this whole crap
into several patches" :-)

So I guess an v3 patch should be a chain of several patches, I think a
sensible approach would be three patches
1/3 => rewrite of the error check code
2/3 => remove of the two useless lines at ieee80211_wep_null.
3/3 => move openning braces and correct the indentation of the
#include

What do you think about it?

regards, Pedro
