if_wi 104 bit WEP rx problem

Hi,

at my university they recently switched to 104 bit wep key encryption
(whatever this shall be good for; i'd prefer ipsec...).

I have an orinoco card that should have a firmware supporting 104 bit
wep keys (me followed the link on fenner's homepage).

info:

FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Mar 24 22:43:31 UTC 2003

wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 9 function 0 config 1 on pccard1
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:xx:xx:my:_m:ac
wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (8.10.1)
wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

It is still running fine with 40 bit keys but with 104 bit keys I seem
to have a problem. sending seems to work fine but receiving gives errors:
(hope I got the correct traces:)

 ....

What I can see the status is either 0x1 or 0x2 with 104 bits but
is 0x2000 with 40 bits.

 From what I understand WEP decryption is done in card itself ? So
is this a firmware problem ?

Any ideas on how to better debug this ?

Thanks in advance.
