No, sorry about that.

OK, I have another card, e.g. ath5k which behaves exactly the same way.
I chose another hardware in the hope WEP would pass this driver.

Sounds like bad luck. Is WEP done in the driver itself?

Do you have an idea why the dhcp request passes WEP but the dhcp reply
does not?

You can also test WEP with manually configuring this using the

Is wpa_supplicant just a front end to iw, e.g. the driver in the case of
WEP?

Thanks
