 Indeed, you are right.  Now keys are shown when displaying information
 about the network interfaces.  Thanks for the advice!  If I am not wrong
 ifconfig(8) shows the WEP keys in netbsd-2 too.  Certainly it is much
 better showing that information in a single place.
 
 Ok, in this case the "SIOCGWAVELAN: Operation not supported" message is
 not related with keys now being shown in the output of wiconfig(8).
 It was just a guess, I did not know that this functionality was removed
 from the wiconfig(8) command and supposed that the new behaviour of
 this command was related with the message.
 
 Cheers,
 Igor.
