Anyone know for sure if the Atheros hardware computes the IV for WEP?
The keytables vary depending on the hardware:

5210 has 64 for keytable size
5211 and 5212 have 128 for keytable size

Just as an example,

WEP 40-bit   = 40-bit  entered key + 24 bit IV = 64-bit
WEP 128-bit  = 128-bit entered key + 24 bit IV = 152-bit

Do we hope to get the IV from the hardware?

  Luis
