Is that 00:02:6f:37:fc:68 the MAC address of your AP? If yes, it sounds
like the AP starts using incorrect encryption for broadcast/multicast
packets (WEP?) after rekeying. You could verify what kind of encryption
the AP is using by looking at /proc/net/hostap/wlan0/crypt before and
after rekeying.
