Subject: authsae & ath9k nohwcrypt=1

Hi

I'm making some test with authsae on openrwt and for wr1043nd router (AR9100 wireless) i still need 'ath9k nohwcrypt=1'
for the secure mesh to work when on another router (AR9280 wireless) i don't need it.
Is it a drivers bug? or is it hardware?

-Router A: wr1043nd (need nohwcrypt=1 option)
-AR9100 wireless
-authsae - 2013-06-25-e2f67612101dc83f2c459d8ddc75c34bc83e1e83 (https://github.com/cozybit/authsae/tree/e2f67612101dc83f2c459d8ddc75c34bc83e1e83)
-kmod-ath9k - 3.10.1+2013-06-27-1 (backports-20130617-4-ge3220f5)
-openwrt BB r37364

-Router B: ubnt rspro
-AR9280 wireless
-openwrt BB r37369 (same authsae/ath9k)

Thanks in advance
Etienne

This patch http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=a549459c96ba99a691aa1cafeabdd327a7a2bfcf
make AR9160 and previous (AR9100) run in promiscuous mode (in order to catch all frames), does this influence hardware encryption (hwcrypt)?

Thanks in advance
