>Description:
With WEP enabled at the Access Point, an ath(4) card in a -current NetBSD
machine associates with the AP, but no data flows. No errors are reported.

ISTR seeing some Rx packets with tcpdump(8), but they didn't make much sense.

Here is the relevant dmesg snippet:
ath0 at cardbus0 dev 0 function 0
ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: turboG rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 radio 3.6

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use an ath(4) card with a WEP-enabled Access Point
>Fix:
Unknown.

>Unformatted:
 ath(4) does not pass packets when WEP is enabled.
