how to configure WEP with shared password

[Li Jin]

Hello,

Thanks for reading my email!
I use the following hostapd configuration file to configure an softAP with WEP with key "1234567890", however the AP appears to be OPEN security. Could you please let me know what I did wrong?

My command is
hostapd -e /opt/wifi/hostapd/entropy.bin -BKdd /opt/wifi/hostapd/hostapd_wep_mode.conf
