Silently watching here for a long time now. But I can't resist any longer. What you tell here is essentially a use case for every IT security conscious person, that i.e. would not switch from wire to wlan devices for good measure. Anyone could profit from a high output random number generator. Even using the wlan nic for /dev/urandom exclusively would be great. You wonder why? I remember waiting for more than 6 hours to fill a 300+GB hard disc with random bytes when initializing a LUKS partition. CPU was at max, any I/O towards the disc certainly not. If this is really that good, and it seems like that, I don't know, why it hasn't been done before. I would see this implemented rather sooner than later and pushed upstream to be used by anyone on desktop and servers too. Keep-up the good, ambitious work.
