Yes, I know it's coming in as such - I believe it should be copying 16
bytes instead of the full keylen. TKIP keys are comprised of 16 bytes
encryption/decryption key and 8 bytes TX/RX MIC keys for a total of 32,
but since the device doesn't do MIC calculations, it only needs the
first 16 bytes here (if even that, since we also give it the P1K which
is derived from the TK...? maybe not even that)

But I guess we should test it ... not sure I still have a machine that
takes these NICs (I do have NICs).
