I was more or less told that TKIP implementation cannot be included in the kernel tree before this was moved into crypto api.. I don't really care much where it is, but since it is now in crypto api, it would sound easiest to just keep it there. If someone really wants to move it away from there and into TKIP code in ieee80211/d80211, feel free to do that. However, at least for some time, there are two different TKIP implementations (net/ieee80211 and net/d80211) so this would mean duplicating Michael MIC implementation and I would rather not do that. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
