It'd be better to use normal tab indentation and likely
it'd also be better to set this only once

	if (challengelen)
		auth->header.frame_ctl = cpu_to_le16(IEEE80211_STYPE_AUTH | IEEE80211_FCTL_WEP);
	else
		auth->header.frame_ctl = cpu_to_le16(IEEE80211_STYPE_AUTH);

or maybe a single line

	auth->header.frame_ctl = cpu_to_le16(challengelen ? IEEE80211_STYPE_AUTH | IEEE80211_FCTL_WEP : IEEE80211_STYPE_AUTH);

though I think the first is simpler to read.
