just wrote it. It's really a trivial 30-seconds-of-coding thing, here's the 
patch inline.
There is also another crypto token that's only used by the madwifi driver, 
it's called "wme_ie". I have no idea if this refers to WPA or WPA2, so if 
someone knows and tells me, I'll add this token as well.
The patch as it is now will display to the user the *highest* encryption 
available (some APs offer rsn and wpa at the same time).

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
