Thank you Johannes, So by saying "the kernel would do it if not done in HW", do you mean that with some cheap chipsets ( :-) ) the kernel will take the responsibility of the decryption/encryption? Would you know some chipsets that can be programmed to pass encrypted frames to the kernel and then the kernel takes care of them?
