Using bcm43xx-softmac, my log gets full of messages that look like:

Apr 6 18:06:55 larrylap kernel: TKIP: ICV error detected: STA=00:14:bf:85:49:fa

Does the driver properly filter out FCS errors? If not, the proper fix
is to fix the driver to do that. If yes, I'm quite surprised that you
see these messages so frequently.

As far as I can tell, FCS errors are not filtered. I looked at other wireless drivers, and I can see where zd1211rw filters them, but I have not yet figured out what routine sets the error bits. Once I have that and filter them, I'll see if the log messages stop.

Thanks for the advice,

Larry
