I tried changing the router's hostapd.conf and the laptop's
/etc/conf.d/net to use a 64-bit hex but I get this:
* Stopping ath0
* Bringing down ath0
* Shutting down ath0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting ath0
* Configuring wireless network for ath0
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.
* ath0 does not support setting keys
* or the parameter "mac_key_network2" or "key_network2" is incorrect
* Failed to configure wireless for ath0
