WEP Encryption Changes

[Ryan Sommers]

I recently (Jan 17) updated my laptop to the latest current. The last 
update was in November. After the latest update my WEP wireless stopped 
working. After playing with it. It appears something is amiss in the Tx 
key for me. I'm able to see broadcast packets coming over the wap just 
fine. They don't appear to be corrupt. However, nothing from the laptop 
gets to the wap. I'm wondering if Sam's update of sys/net80211 back in 
December might be the culprit.

One thing I did notice was the new deftxkey option in ifconfig. I 
attempted to set this to 1 (to use the first and only key), didn't help.

What all would I need to roll back to reverse these changes? Just 
sys/net80211 or would I need to hit sys/dev/wi also?

Are there any better tools besides another wireless card (only have one 
unfortunately) to debug the frames? tcpdump seems to only get me so far.

For the record this is a Lucent embedded WaveLAN (Dell Trumobile 1150) 
firmware 8.10.1.
