Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Fix for bug 1420 (properly decrypting WPA broadcast packets)

Hi,

I've implemented a fix for bug 1420 (802.11 WPA/WPA2-PSK Unable to decode Group Keys). 
This addresses the problem of not being able to properly decrypt WPA and WPA2 packets that were encrypted with the group key (i.e key index = 1).

Being new to the Wireshark group, before submitting the actual changes I figured I'd check to see if anyone else has already been working on this (the bug had been reported over a year ago!).  The code changes are restricted to airpdcap.c and airpdcap_tkip.c in epan/crypt.

Cheers,
Brian
