The news items are indeed misleading. The presentation was mostly
about the A5/1 tables. Frequency hopping did come up, and a possible
approach was discussed (moving more processing into the u...@2s FPGA).
However most media articles make it sound like Karsten and Chris
"cracked" the hopping algorithm using a 2 TB table *sigh*.

Btw Karsten: although the article on PCWorld seems one of the more
accurate, they seem to be refering to you by the name of Knoll several
times.
