[PATCH 06/15] mac80211: remove TKIP mixing for hw accel again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The TKIP mixing code was added for the benefit of Intel's ipw3945
chipset but that code ended up not using it. We have previously
identified many problems with this code and it crystallized that
library functions for mixing are likely to handle this in much
more generality and might allow b43 to take advantage of hardware
acceleration for TKIP.

Due to these reasons, remove the TKIP mixing for hardware
accelerated crypto operations.
