Set auth_algs in hostapd.conf, make it configurable for WEP Always set auth_algs in hostapd.conf. For WEP, auth_algs is configurable by setting the encryption parameter of a wifi-iface to contain "open" (1, open system), "shared" (2, shared key), or "mixed" (3, permits both open system and shared key.) For example, use "wep+shared" for shared key authentication. The default is default is "open" as it is more secure than "shared" (although WEP is pretty weak regardless.) For non-WEP, "open" is always used.
