Certified Wireless USB from the USB-IF

With more than 2 billion legacy wired USB connections in the world today, USB is the de facto standard in the personal computing industry. Soon, these same, fast, interoperable connections will become available in the wireless world, with the introduction of Certified Wireless USB from the USB-IF. Certified Wireless USB is the new wireless extension to USB that combines the speed and security of wired technology with the ease-of-use of wireless technology. Wireless connectivity has enabled a mobile lifestyle filled with conveniences for mobile computing users. Certified Wireless USB will support robust high-speed wireless connectivity by utilizing the common WiMedia MB-OFDM Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio platform as developed by the WiMedia Alliance.

UWB technology offers a solution for high bandwidth, low cost, low power consumption, and physical size requirements of next-generation consumer electronic devices.

Certified Wireless USB is the first high-speed wireless personal interconnect technology to meet the needs of multimedia consumer electronics, PC peripherals, and mobile devices.

Certified Wireless USB will preserve the functionality of wired USB while also unwiring the cable connection and providing enhanced support for streaming media CE devices and peripherals.

Certified Wireless USB performance is targeted at 480Mbps at 3 meters and 110Mbps at 10 meters.

Is dynamic WEP supported?

According to this article:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/4598
the «popular Hermes-based Orinoco 802.11b cards» don't have driver support
for dynamic keys.

On the other hand, the "802.1X Port-Based Authentication HOWTO" says:
«Many drivers developed outside the kernel, however, support for dynamic
WEP; HostAP, madwifi, Orinoco, and atmel should work without problems.»
(http://oreilly.linux.com/howtos/8021X-HOWTO/dynwep.shtml)

Who is right?
I have searched the Linux ORiNOCO Driver website and it's mailing lists and
I have not found a sinle reference to dynamic WEP. Am I blind or is this a
too esoteric feature for orinoco card users?
