Setting weptxkey worked. Setting the default didn't or at least it didn't
the number of times I tried setting it.

One thing I find odd is that the wepkey isn't automatically set as the Tx
key as well. Are there any implementations that by default don't use the
same key for Rx and Tx?

Either way, I've added this to my list of things to look at. I don't
imagine it being all that difficult to set the Tx key to the first entered
WEP key.
