802.11i needs crypto-acceleration
Authored by: _merlin on Dec 14, '04 04:37:45PM

WPA is a subset of 802.11i that doesn't require hardware acceleration. It was designed so that existing cards could be upgraded from WEP to WPA with a firmware update. Full 802.11i support requires cryptography-accelerated hardware, so unfortunately, it isn't just a firmaware update.
