Incidentally, in two seperate cases capturing known WEP traffic,
despite the AP's Beacon frame having the Capability-Privacy bit set,
the WEP bit is NOT set in the DATA frames.  Has anyone else seen this?
I am 99% sure this is not a bug in Ethereal, since I am looking at the hex,
but I have seen it with various cards and AP's, and it is a clear-cut violation
of the spec.   However, it seems unlikely that Cisco, Cabletron, SMC,
and Lucent all decided to abandon one field out of the spec.   Anyone
have any ideas?
