802.11g NIC w/ on board TKIP (and possibly AES) support

[Andrey V. Sokolov]

Hi
I am using 6.0-RELEASE-p4 on my Toshiba Qosmio G20 with iwi driver.
I haven't any problem with tkip cipher.

iwi0 at pci4:5:0:  class=0x028000 card=0x27418086 chip=0x42208086 rev=0x05 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = 'PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection'
    class    = network

falcon [~]> wpa_cli status
Selected interface 'iwi0'
bssid=ap_mac_address
ssid=my_ssid
pairwise_cipher=TKIP
group_cipher=WEP-104
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED
Supplicant PAE state=AUTHENTICATED
suppPortStatus=Authorized
EAP state=SUCCESS

I am loading firmware version 2.3 from 
http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/download.html by iwicontrol program every 
startup.
