[PATCH] mac80211: Set CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 for SW crypto only drivers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Mac80211 SW crypto handles replacing PTK keys correctly.

Don't trigger needless warnings or workarounds when the driver can only
use the known good SW crypto provided by mac80211.
