In the long bug-hunt for why dynamic WEP networks didn't work it
turned out that mac80211 incorrectly uses IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT while
it should use IW_AUTH_PRIVACY_INVOKED to determine whether to
associate to protected networks or not.

This patch changes the behaviour to be that way.

Dan or Dragoran, can you try this patch with a dynamic WEP network and
an unmodified wpa_supplicant (the one that previously didn't work)? It
might need the other patch I sent just before this one ("mac80211:
remove unused driver ops") to apply.
