Indeed it does, I configured wlan using

iw wlan0 connect scoobly keys 0:1234567890123

AP# iw dev wlan0 link
Connected to f8:1a:67:56:42:96 (on wlan0)
        SSID: scoobly
        freq: 2427
        RX: 51423 bytes (738 packets)
        TX: 141 bytes (3 packets)
        signal: -63 dBm
        tx bitrate: 1.0 MBit/s

        bss flags:      short-preamble short-slot-time
        dtim period:    0
        beacon int:     100

and the link showed the same characteristics, dhcp requests are sent,
but incoming dhcp packets are dropped somewhere.

I made the same test using the ath5k hardware and the results match
exactly. IMHO it does not look like a card specific problem but rather
somethink in the WEP handling code. Is this done in the iw package or
somewhere deeper?

Thanks

Erich
