I'm not sure what you mean here. Intel's AES-NI supports AES-192 just as well as
AES-128 and AES-256. (It provides the round functions, and assistance for key
expansion. How much you expand your key and how many rounds you do is up to
you.) There are probably hardware implementations that allow only 128 or 256,
but AES-NI is not one of them.
