I don't think that we should require turning off hardware cryptography for doing this - one might want to use a managed interface with hardware cryptography enabled (less code overhead), while getting a truely-raw dump on a monitor interface simultaneously. This is useful for wireless IDS, for example. -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
