Modified files: sys/dev/pci : if_iwm.c Log message: Revert iwm(4) to software WPA crypto because of apparent firmware issues. For a small proportion of frames on 8265 we have observed firmware reporting "not encrypted" even though in Wireshark these frames appear as regular encrypted frames (rx_pkt_status=0xc0400007 type=0x8 subtype=0x80 m_len=1542). This causes frame drops which do not occur with software crypto. We might try again after a firmware upgrade. There seems to be no public record of bug fixes made by Intel between firmware versions which degrades our development process into pure trial-and-error. We need to waste our own time to find out information which Intel should be providing to the public. If anyone is aware of a source of such information, please let us know. All this is of course very disappointing. Problem reported by and debugged with help from solene@
