The default debug level is MSG_INFO, i.e., 2. -d on command line
decreases this to 1 (MSG_DEBUG) and -dd to 0 (MSG_MSGDUMP) (similarly,
-q increases the level to 3 (MSG_WARNING), and -qq to 4 (MSG_ERROR). In
other words, the larger the number, the less verbose debug output.

This is caused by missing code in driver_nl80211.c (and _wext for that
matter), i.e., the authentication algorithm capabilities are not set.
I'll fix this somehow (i.e., likely just hardcode all options to be
enabled for now).
