Hrm.  That is a problem.  Kind of sucks if there is no way for the AP to
advertise that it does half-WPA/half-WEP.  I presumed it would advertise
the WPA-EAP stuff, but then non-WPA cards might not grok that.

Anyhow ... you can test it by doing "Connect to Other ..." and selecting
"WPA Enterprise" with a key type of "Dynamic WEP" and filing out the
other fields selectively, as needed.
