Probably coincidence (there are some timing issues in bringing up the interfaces and starting the dnsmasq etc, if interface is extra-slow to come up start might fail), the key can be (at least from iwconfig POV) any (correct lenght) sequence of bytes (the automatic padding to correct lenght is probably more confusing to user; I'll add some note banner when I have the time).

So try again with alpha key.
