While I fully agree that these messages should be rate limited, it is somewhat surprising to see this large a number of reported ICV failures. Does the ipw3945 not filter out FCS errors before passing the frame for WEP decryption? Or is there something odd about this network/client configuration that makes the client try to decrypt frames that are not really for it? I can think of one valid case (VLAN with separate broadcast domains using the same BSS), all other cases seem like waste of CPU power since I would have expected the frames to be filtered out before reaching WEP decryption if this STA is not the correct destination for them. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
