Since Orinoco 9.xx firmware has explicit support for WPA (at least for TKIP), I guess it could be used for that with or without mac80211. Another approach would be to send beacons and other management frames from the host software, but I'm afraid the firmware would get in the way somewhere. > In addition, the firmware must allow host-based encryption/decryption to be > enabled.
