The output of wpa_supplicant with "-dddt" would be quite useful in
figuring this out.

The supplicant does always _clear_ static WEP keys when it starts the
interface, when a connection drops, and when it quits.  Maybe that's
where it's coming from?  But it should just be setting the "disabled"
bit in the WEXT structure and sending a key of all zeros.
