Don't make too fast conclusions :) stlc45xx is work in progress and
the reason why TKIP or CCMP is done is software is just that I haven't
had the time to implement the hard encryption. It should be relative
easily todo, patches welcome :)

No, I haven't seen any measurement results about this.

I already answered this one. But here's the link to wpa_supplicant
page:
