Nope, kmsg is clean. I'm pretty sure the condition is evaluating to false because we do have the firmware, it's just that the crypto engine doesn't support the required algo. Is hardware encryption an all-or-nothing thing in mac80211? Wouldn't it be possible use the hardware as much as possible and fall back to software only for the unsupported features? (I guess the answer is "no, because the firmware gets in the way", but I had to ask.)
