   That's weird.  My working wpa_supplicant.conf doesn't have "wep_tx_keyidx"
and has only one wep_key set:

 	network={
 		ssid="GoodNeighbour"
 		scan_ssid=1
 		key_mgmt=NONE
 		wep_key0="11111"
 	}

   FWIW, "11111" is the first ASCII WEP key set in my test AP(Buffalo
AirStation G54).  The rest(key 2 ~ 4) were simply empty strings in my AP's
configuration.
