Does anyone use the Cisco MIC code anymore? I guess we can't just rip it
out...  It was a proprietary Cisco extension back before WPA.

In any case, the comment should be changed to reflect the current return
values of the function, and SUCCESS and ERROR in decapsulate() should be
changed to 0 and -1 respectively; defining stuff like success/error just
makes things ugly, and 0 and -1 are well-enough-known that there should
be no question what they mean.

Essentially, the code is using 0 and -1 as booleans anyway.  I say get
rid of SUCCESS & ERROR and just use 0 and -1, then change the comment.
