Arend, Thanks for the response. What I'm trying to accomplish is to encrypt the 802.11 data packet that is sent to mac80211 as data frames and mac80211 sends it to the wifi driver. I took a look at this blog "https://www.linux.com/community/blogs/133-general-linux/816721-linux-wireless-networking-a-short-walk"; and thought it would be possible to just encrypt the data part. I also checked using wireshark where the 80211 data is encrypted using the wpa key and ssid. I'm looking for a way to encrypt data with out touching any wifi drivers. I'am trying to use openwrt to come up with new encryption and see if i can use it in rapberry pi as a test bed. Appreciate if you can help.
