btw would it make sense to ratelimit

"WEP decrypt failed (ICV)" messages?
they are a bit annoying when connected to this network...

dmesg  | grep ICV | wc -l
3489

after some minutes.

While I fully agree that these messages should be rate limited, it is
somewhat surprising to see this large a number of reported ICV failures.
Does the ipw3945 not filter out FCS errors before passing the frame for
WEP decryption? Or is there something odd about this network/client
configuration that makes the client try to decrypt frames that are not
really for it?
this does not happen with the ipw3945 driver but with the iwl3945 so its either something with this driver or mac80211.
