As I sent off the original response to your e-mail, I thought about
the fact that you might be referring to the flag.  I believe I found
the reference on this mailinglist initially, but later confirmed
that there are references to it, along with documentation is in the
man page for iwconfig.

In fact, it even states in the man page that the meaning for this
flag depends on the card being used.  That means for one card, open
might mean no encryption, whereas another card it means encryption
is used!!!  Talk about a screwed up standard, but then again,
remember, this is 800.11g beta and not the final spec we see on most
of these cards.  Anyway, it is all there in the man pages, so I
encourage you to read the paragraph in careful detail to learn more
about it.

There is no such thing as a casual knowledge of xslt, either 
you know everything about it or you are sitting in the creek.
