Hi all
   Does ieee80211 stack support hardware encryption ? or by crypt 
subsystem of linux?

I might think it has both hooks?

IPW uses both and I think the ieee80211 has all the stuff for the linux crypt
subsystem, but maybe depending on the hardware, might need some extra things
to support the specific network card?

which functions do the exact work? wx_set_encode?
It is a little bit difficult for me to hack all the ieee80211 source 
code. Do there exist a document on ieee80211 stack?

Thx Alejandro.

I don't have an answer for you. I hope someone else can help you here. 
Sorry.

ieee80211_crypt_*.c. For example ieee80211_crypt_wep.c does WEP
encryption and decryption. Currently the only document is the code.
