I do not have a full list, but most cases are in combinations of station
and AP mode interfaces being used at the same time. If you are only
using AP mode interfaces, the main case is use of multiple networks with
static WEP keys or maybe WEP in general in some combinations. I don't
think there has been very thorough testing on different multi-BSSID
combinations so far, so I cannot provide more detailed answer at this
point.

Odd.. Hardware vs. software crypto should not really affect that, i.e.,
I would have just expected the default behavior to result in broken
connection (incorrect key used) and nohwcrypt=1 fixing that. Was this
with the two static WEP networks? When did this PCI FATAL message show
up (when starting hostapd? when trying to associate? when sending data
frames?)?
