You shouldn't actually be getting this when your AP is configured to use encryption. It either points to somebody trying to invade your network (unlikely) or an AP bug. Can you use 'iw' to add a new monitor interface and capture some of the unencrypted packets with that? Use $ git clone http://git.sipsolutions.net/iw.git/ $ cd iw $ make # ./iw dev wmaster0 interface add moni0 type monitor and then wireshark/tcpdump on it, you can also send me the dump in private mail if you cannot identify the problem. If you *disable* hw crypto I won't even be able to read your actual traffic :) johannes
