It wouldn't make sense. Flags are used to specify capabilities of the

This is very confusing to user.
User is assumed to have this bit of knowledge that WEP flag actually
means only hardware support, not support in general.
On another note WEP is actually supported by interface but driver authors
didn't bother to use it. So WEP flag doesn't represent actual
capabilities of
the interface and this is again confusing.
When I type 'ifconfig <iface> ...' I am mostly interested what can I use
from
that side, not what is supported by hardware. Is there any way to know
what is
logically supported by network interface as passed to 'ifconfig' vs. what
is supported by hardware interface?
