[PATCH] cfg80211: allow software encryption of aes cmac in mesh

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

 



Secured mesh requires the key installation using cipher
suite AES CMAC for multicast management frame. This patch
will allow the key installation to proceed. Otherwise, it
will be rejected due to hw encryption is not supported.
