Re: Weird wifi behavior

Hi,

Please file a bug. :)

WEP shouldn't be broken in 9.x, that was before all of my TX
aggregation changes for 802.11n support.

WEP worked fine for me when I was using it a couple weeks ago. Would
you please provide further information in the bug, such as what the
key length is, which key slots are configured, your
ifconfig/wpa_supplicant.conf entry, etc.

Thanks,



Adrian
