The keyword 'nwkey' indicates you are using WEP. Is that correct? A commit of mine accidentally broke WEP support back in August 2017. This was eventually fixed in -current 2 weeks ago. Nobody noticed that WEP was broken for 8 months... I'd suggest switching this wifi network to WPA2, or just leaving it open since WEP is no better than leaving your wifi open in the first place. We provide WEP only for interop with legacy networks outside your control.
