[ale] [OT] WEP auth modes

[Joe]

Hi folks,

Can some security-savvy person explain the difference between "shared key" and
"open system" authentication modes in WEP? Is one to be prefferred over the
other? I've found that FreeBSD 4.6 won't permit me to use "shared key" mode.
(It appears to be a bug in the FreeBSD Prism2 driver.)

Cheers,
