Comment (by brian):
My analysis of the captured data was way off base. I was misled by the
format of the captured packets. The "+recv" debugging output was
appending an extra 4 bytes to every frame, containing the frame checksum.
The ethereal packet decoders were not expecting the frame checksum, and so
reported a bogus packet. (I submitted a fix to madwifi a few days ago so
that the frame checksums are not logged any longer.)
I looked at your packet captures again, this time stripping off the extra
4 bytes before asking ethereal to decode the packet. This is what
tethereal shows:
IEEE 802.11

I know you wrote that you have this working with madwifi-old, but is it
possible that your script is specifying the wrong WEP key?
