When setting wpa_auth to WPA_AUTH_NONE(1) in AP mode with WEP secuirty,
firmware will set privacy bit and add WPA OUI in VENDOR IE in beacon and
probe response. It confuses the supplicant in sation client by the
security type from softAP beacon and we will see [WPA-?] in scan result.
So we set WPA_AUTH_DISABLED in softAP mode with opensecurity.

Is WPA_AUTH_NONE ok for IBSS mode? Not sure why it is handled
differently. Is it because you do not want to change things for IBSS
mode as you did not try that?

I would like to keep WPA_AUTH_NODE for IBSS mode because the comment of WPA_AUTH_NONE definition in brcmu_wifi.h is "none (IBSS)". It seems that WPA_AUTH_NONE is for IBSS mode.

Arend
