Re: [Ipw2100-devel] next firmware release when?

[Osho GG <os...@gm...>]

I modified my /etc/modprobe.conf to include the following line:

options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0

And all my firmware error and restarts have stopped occurring!!!!

Does anyone know what are the disadvantage of hwcrypto=0. I am still able to 
connect to all the networks etc. that I regularly use. Is there a performance 
differnece? If so, how much?

thanks,
Osho
