Toshiba FlashAir does not require authentication in "Internet pass-thru Mode"

Overview

FlashAir by Toshiba Corporation is a SDHC memory card which provides "Internet pass-thru Mode", allowing devices to access the internet while connecting to FlashAir. When configured in "Internet pass-thru Mode", FlashAir acts both as a station and as an access point.
When "Internet pass-thru Mode" is enabled, FlashAir does not require authentication on accepting a connection from STA (station) side LAN.
