etsysWPAConfigAllowLegacyClients

This object provides a way to indicate that an access point in
WPA mode should accept associations from both WPA clients and
legacy (pre-WPA, pre-RSN) clients.
              
When this object is true(1), the etsysWPAConfigMulticastCipher
must be WEP-40 or WEP-104 (a.k.a. 128-bit WEP).
              
Using WEP Group keys and letting legacy clients associate may
weaken security.  To minimize this,
              
   1.  Enable legacy associations only on radios that support
       Pairwise keys.
              
   2.  Enable frequent Group key rekeying.  With TKIP and AES,
       there's much less threat of key cracking than with WEP,
       so the default is 'once in a blue moon'.  With WEP, you
       need to think more in terms of Rapid Rekeying.
              
Access points implementing this feature are under no obligation
to support non-802.1X clients.  For instance, an access point
might use one-time dynamic WEP keys when WPA Group key rotation
is disabled.  Static WEP clients would not know these keys.
