Hm, from my understanding, the problem is this: * a bunch of drivers don't advertise that they do crypto stuff natively; * net80211 however supports software encryption for other things; * and what we're doing is somehow passing those caps all the way down to the supplicant; * .. that believes that it's not supported. Now, I _think_ that maybe we should be teaching net80211 to fill in the capabilities for what it supports before kicking them up to the supplicant layer, since it knows if there's hardware or softwrae support for things. So, ok. i'll talk with jouni/rui and see if we can come up with a better fix. Thanks! -a On 15 March 2014 16:26, sean bruno <sbruno@ignoranthack.me> wrote: > Will do.
