Software WEP is currently only supported in HostAP and BSS modes.
+Furthermore, Software WEP is currently incapable of decrypting
+fragmented frames.
+Lucent-based cards using firmware 8.10 and above fragment encrypted
+frames send at 11Mbps.
+To work around this, Lucent clients with this firmware revision

HostAP mode doesn't support WDS or power saving.
