That's a broken AP, but these are likely still quite common, so it may be better to just allow non-zero key index here for WEP. However, I would not do this for TKIP/CCMP since they were clearly specified to only use idx=0 for pairwise keys. Furthermore, use of non-zero key index for pairwise keys is likely to cause problems with some hwaccel designs, so this should really not be encouraged in any way (i.e., I would only enable it as a client-side workaround for those broken APs doing dynamic WEP with odd key indexes). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
