Subject: [9fans] Patch to wavelan driver, specify heys in hex.

So my sysadmins at work set up a wireless lan, but made the WEP key a
random string of hex digits that doesn't easily convert into a UTF
sequence I can put in a file.  So I made a small change to the wavelan
driver to recognize keys that start with ``0x'' as hex strings and
convert them to a binary encoding as appropriate.  It's not perfect, as
I'm not checking for decoding errors, nor are non-hex heys that start
with ``0x'' handled, but I wanted to send it out for others who might
be faced with a similar setup.
