What do I need to do to get mac80211 to do software encryption for WEP? My port of the PHY code from
bcm43xx and the mac80211 front end works with WPA encryption. With WEP, it authenticates and
associates, but never gets an IP number from DHCP. That indicates to me that the encryption is not
set up correctly. I looked through the various definitions in include/net/mac80211.h, but nothing
seems to apply.
Which hw enc code do you use in that tree? The old softmac crap
or my new code from bcm43xx-mac80211?
I had stripped out all the key stuff, but before that it was from bcm43xx-mac80211.
Anyway, if you want to disable hw enc, always set the force sw enc bit
in the set_key function and return early:
key->flags |= IEEE80211_KEY_FORCE_SW_ENCRYPT;
return 0;
This doesn't seem to work. I had tried it before. I guess I put your code back in again.
Thanks,
Larry
