More hostap weirdness

The AP is a Netgear MA401 in a Netgear MA301 in an ordinary machine 
running FreeBSD 4.6.

Machine A is a Dell laptop running Windows XP with a Dell-badged 
Orinocco gold card.

Machine B is a Sony Vaio laptop running XP or FreeBSD 4.6 (dual-boot) 
with another Netgear MA401.

Machine A always works correctly.

Machine B works correctly when running FreeBSD 4.6, but when it's 
running XP with the MA401 driver (which, perversely enough does not do 
the "new" Windows XP 802.11b thing), it only works correctly with WEP 
disabled.

It *used* to work ok with a "real" access point (a Linksys), and it 
works fine under FreeBSD, but there's something that is keeping the 
Netgear Windows driver from negotiating any sort of WEP (64 or 128 bit) 
with a hostap mode.

For what it's worth, I tried applying the most recent -current diffs. No 
help.

The configurator help>about lists the config utility as 4.06.4.7 (jan 
12, 2001), the driver at 0.29.4 (Apr 3, 2001), and the NIC firmware as 
00.08.03.00 (ID:S10008C3). I can't find anything on their web site any 
newer than this.
