You are correct. That piece of code is indeed required for WEP
(KeyIdxValid is not set and sometimes also KeyMiss is set even though
frame has been decrypted).

I just posted a patch which seems to catch the corrupt frames without
messing anything else up. Perhaps you could take a quick look at it?

Thanks,
