Unfortunately, I don't see any way to "fix" WE-21 without similarly

I'll bet that the various WE-aware apps have checks like "if WE >
20" for managing ESSID length settings, we may have painted ourselves
into a korner (sic).

The apps are based on a pre-release kernel, which everyone knows couldchange, precisely for reasons like this. Sounds like somebody took arisk, and lost...
