Maybe we need to clarify the documentation... The problem with MFP is that now unicast management frames are encrypted with CCMP. If the device has HW crypto on RX or TX, it may not implement it correctly due to the different header munging needed for management frames over data frames. You should verify that unicast management frames are properly encrypted and decrypted by the hardware (or punted to software on RX like you do on TX). The danger is that the hardware corrupts CCMP encrypted RX mgmt frames and software can't recover. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
