System: NetBSD amethyst.netherstone.net 4.0_RC1 NetBSD 4.0_RC1 (AMETHYST-$Revision: 1.25 $) #2: Tue Sep 25 10:00:37 EST 2007 unpriv@amethyst.netherstone.net:/scratch/netbsd-4/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/AMETHYST i386
Architecture: i386

>Description:
The ath(4) manual page says that encryption is not supported at
this time:

     "AR5211 and AR5212 support the AES, TKIP, and Michael crypto-
      graphic operations required for WPA but at this time the driver
      does not support them.  To enable encryption, use ifconfig(8)."

wpa_supplicant appears to work just fine, but isn't mentioned.

(I was very pleasantly surprised how easy it was to set up WPA-PSK
with an Atheros based card "TP-Link TL-WN651G Ver. 1.5". It all Just
Worked.)

>How-To-Repeat:
$ man ath
>Fix:
Change the referenced text to refer to wpa_supplicant(8) and
wpa_supplicant.conf(5)?
