[PATCH] Fix rt2500usb HW crypto: TKIP

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

 



rt2500usb doesn't strip the IV/ICV data from received frames,
so we don't need to set the RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED flag.
We do need to set the RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED flag for all
encryption types since the MMIC has been removed from the frame.

After this patch TKIP Hardware crypto works for rt2500usb.
WEP and AES are still failing.
