Huh, I didn't think any mac80211 driver supported WEP 128.  Are you sure you
weren't using madwifi before?  Or maybe WEP 104?

For the record, WEP104 and WEP128 are the same thing. The smaller number makes it explicit that the 24-bit IV is transmitted in the open. The same thing applies to WEP40 and WEP64.
