Hi Chun-Yeow

I'm using a Atheros AR5413 802.11abg
and Chun-Yeow you are correct.

I just did some testing with and without nohwcrypt=1

with nohwcrypt=1 i can achieve TCP throughput of 18-20 Mbps
Iperf - 10 streams

without nohwcrypt=1 i can achieve TCP throughput of 13-15 Mbps
Iperf - 10 streams

I just tested this multiple times to confirm.


Sorry I should have testing this earlier after the authsae fix.

Fred
