Any reason not to use the net/mac80211/michael.c implementation?
Yes, depending on mac80211 for a full-mac driver wouldn't be too
smart :)
I used (a copy of) the mac80211 version in my original implementation because it works within an interrupt, and can be called independently of the mac80211 stack.
However mac80211 doesn't export the MIC implementation, and even if it did, as Johannes says it wouldn't make sense for us to depend on mac80211 just for MIC.
I considered moving the MIC implementation out of mac80211 and exporting it in something like include/linux/ieee80211.h, but I didn't think it was worth it given the MIC implementation in crypto.
