That would be ideal for us. I'm interested to know how information about the hw crypto key cache has been obtained - is it purely from reverse engineering the old Atheros HAL and the ath9k driver? >> I would welcome inclusion of any/all of this code and/or help >> with debugging if anyone wants to give it a try. > > Ok, well this change touches a lot of different things (mac80211 and nl80211 > changes e.g. should at least be reviewed by the relevant maintainers). > So when you think it's ready, a good plan of attack is to split it up > into smaller patches that only do one logical change -- that will make > it easier to review. > > Also note that the ath5k/9k merge hit wireless-testing yesterday evening > so the patch needs rebasing to apply on top of the current tree.

The part I don't understand is that browsing the wireless-testing git tree, I can see that ath9k claims to have VAP support. So I guess this means either the ath5k VAP support is incorrect (since it requires modifications to mac80211 which aren't required by ath9k) or similar patches for mac80211 have already been applied to enable this functionality. Also can you give more information about the ath5k/ath9k merge? I browsed the git commit log for wireless-testing for the past few days but couldn't see a relevant commit. Is the idea to merge ath5k into ath9k at some point?
