OP knows that already, but he has other reasons. See the first reply by Stefan 
Sperling and OP's answer.

I am glad you are making progress but I just want to be sure that you
know that WEP can be decrypted in seconds?

Can you provide more details please? If there are anoncvs mirrors with
bad source code that needs fixing.




I did not use anoncvs, I downloaded sys.tar.gz and src.tar.gz fron the 
6.3 release from a mirror, I believe the french mirror.
I just "fixed" anther system (this time amd64) for WEP and used again 
fresh tarballs and it went fine. Perhaps the mirror updated or had 
another issue.

I don't think it is worth the effort for us.

You are literally the only person I know of who has requested an
official backport of this fix. WEP was already broken in OpenBSD 6.2
which was released in October 2017. In all this time, nobody complained.
So it does not look like this problem affects many people.

The patch to fix WEP is trivial and should apply cleanly to
a 6.3 source tree if needed:


just an update, it took me a while. I had issues with the sources on 
certain mirrors.
I was able to get a good one, compile a GENERIC.MP kernel with just your 
patch applied and it fixes for me both the newer as the older ThinkPads 
I had. Very fine.


Thanks,

Riccardo
