Hi All I know this use case is quite trivial looking regarding WEP (Since it is going to be deprecated), we faced a issue with minap (softap) in WEP security with auth mode as shared. Since the default key is not passed to driver, we can not program firmware default key idx (default key is programmed when data packet exchange started, looking into type of encryption) and the handshake failed in shared auth mode. In open mode, there is no need for this. Personally, i dont like WEP in miniAP mode but sometime we dont have the choice!
