I've been having a look at how mt76 solves the problem, but I haven't fully understood it yet. I feel it's out of my league, since I only started looking at wireless drivers very recently (I don't grasp all the concepts and the architecture). But one thing that also bugs me about software fallbacks is that for most of the older CPUs we don't have SIMD implementations of the required crypto. So, not only we fall back to software, but we're also stuck with scalar C algorithms on CPUs which are already slow. Rui
