restricted mode with the at76c503 means "don't accept unencrypted data
packets" only, while shared key authentication is configured by
	iwpriv wlanX auth_mode 1

That's a bit historic, the meaning of "restricted" with iwconfig wasn't
clear to me a year ago and so "shared key" auth got an own command.

I'll change it unless someone objects with good arguments
