Ah, it's a different key because it's not set _during_ the 4-way handshake, but just sent to the fw directly and the fw handles it, right? > I don't know whether there are any Linux drivers that would use WPA > passphrase, but at least the Mac OS X driver interface seems to only use > passphrase for WPA-Personal, so it is apparently possible to design such > a architecture ;-).
