"Software WEP" support


Hey there,

My Prism2.5 card isn't very fast at doing Hardware WEP, so whenever too much traffic goes over it, it just hardlocks the system.

I have it in a box running it in HostAP mode, and have a few clients that are connected to it.

It worked well on Linux, except that it hardlocked when too much data went over it (such as movie trailers from Apple's website). So I've since changed the box to OpenBSD, under which I use "software wep", so now the Pentium 3 does the WEP instead of the card, and it works great. No crashes.

I want to change back to Linux though, so I want to know if the support for "Software WEP" in hostap mode now exists.

Thank you!
Refried
