Mine is the -164 version. Anything else needed to confirm working properly?

If I understand correctly, the device is working - only the wiki is wrong.
For my info, what does 'lspci -nnk | grep 2802' show?

No,
but it would be great if we could have a copy of that EEPROM.
I've attached inline-patch that will dump its content to
the console via kernel messaging system.
If you are not entirely familiar with the procedure, then let
me know (off-list), I'm sure we can work that out.
Regards,
Christian

No, 10b8:2802 is the subsystem ID of the SMC2802W v1.
Both v1 and v2 use 1260:3890 as their device ID, which is already
defined in p54pci.c. Your patch is not necessary.

The encryption is being handled by mac80211, wpa_supplicant, and the device. The
"encryption key:off" should be ignored. The wireless extension tools such as
iwconfig are being phased out and do not always have the best information.
Looking at the driver code, we need the patch below to enable the device:

};
I will do a formal submission of the patch and edit the wiki.
