Is this really KEY_TYPE_BROADCAST instead of KEY_TYPE_DEFAULT? As noted
in the beginning of this function, only one key is used for both
receiving and sending unicast and multicast frames.

We are deleting a key. KEY_TYPE_DEFAULT is basically just used to make a broadcast key also to the default key. (Kind like an upgrade...)

That is of course wrong. We are not deleting a key here...

Looking at the function again I have to agree hat KEY_TYPE_DEFAULT indeed looks better here. But so far I've only studied the "modern" parts of 802.11 and I With the existing logic of the patches it drills down again to the question: Do we have to install the key also as a default key?

I'll try to look into that, probably at the weekend. (First have to find that mode of operation in the standard...)
