Heh. I was connected to an encrypted AP with a different device and
monitoring the traffic no that channel, and got the following:

[139528.433872] rt61pci rx word 4: 0x60483004
[139528.433882] rt61pci rx word 5: 0x012c30a8
[139528.468947] rt61pci rx word 4: 0x60483004
[139528.468956] rt61pci rx word 5: 0x01566138
[139528.571350] rt61pci rx word 4: 0x60483004
[139528.571361] rt61pci rx word 5: 0x1dba1048
[139528.673744] rt61pci rx word 4: 0x60483004
[139528.673753] rt61pci rx word 5: 0x18e02078
[139528.776153] rt61pci rx word 4: 0x60483004
[139528.776165] rt61pci rx word 5: 0x01568018
[139528.878538] rt61pci rx word 4: 0x60483004
[139528.878549] rt61pci rx word 5: 0x072a9048

In fact, through the whole uptime of the card word 4 never changed, so
maybe it's just bogus data from the disabled hwcrypto engine.
