* @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT: This flag should be set by the driver for a * CCMP key if it requires CCMP encryption of management frames (MFP) to * be done in software. With this flag, it should do software encryption in CCMP, so removing it should be ensure ath5k doing hardware encryption for MFP, am I right? > That would bypass the important bits, so it's worth a test without > the modparam. Yes, I test without this modparam. Unfortunately, not working in my ath5k chipset.
