one VAP's WEP key overwrites another's

one VAP's WEP key overwrites another's

[c4linux c4linux]

there is a question about AR2413 and madwifi driver.

madwifi can support VAP, so I setup 2 VAPs, one is ath0, another is
ath1.both of them are set SharedKey authentication and use WEP
encrypthion. I type the command below to set each of them a password:

iwconfig ath0 key [1] s:1111111111111
iwconfig ath1 key [1] s:2222222222222

two VAPs have the same mac address and their ssid are different.

the strange thing happens, It seems that ath1's password overwrite the
ath0's, so if I set my sta the ath1's password and select ath0 to
connect, I connect the ath0 successfully. Why? are the 4 slots for WEP
Key is shared by all VAPs?  or VAP is not stable?

Thank you!

Please use madwifi-devel for this, linux-wireless is only for drivers
upstream, so ath5k and ath9k. We don't care about MadWifi.
