Yea, I think ath hw supports that too: #define AR5K_KEYTABLE_TYPE_40 0x00000000 #define AR5K_KEYTABLE_TYPE_104 0x00000001 #define AR5K_KEYTABLE_TYPE_128 0x00000003 at least that's what I assumed it meant. But there's no way to set it from mac80211 (nor should there be). -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com
