Is this likely to change at any point, the wireless drivers that comes
with F7 seems to be able to do it.

My observations agree with that.

I will try it and see how that goes.

Also, in another email you said there was a patch needed to apply to
wpa_supplicant for it to work with this gelic driver.  Do you know if
it has been merged as of yet.  If not, can I obtain the patch and
which version is needs to be applied to.

I dont want to have my WEP SSID advertised.
