[PATCH 05/11] iwlwifi: support RSN IBSS

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

In order to support RSN IBSS, we need to
(ok actually maybe it's just easiest to)
disable group key programming so that any
group-addressed frames will be decrypted
in software which handles the per-station
keys for this easily. We could keep the
encryption in the device, but that takes
more work and seems unnecessary.
