XB! Hello everyone, I cmmitted TKIP support for LinuxKPI to main (will MFC in a few days). The needed net80211 change went in as well (I think yesterday?). If you want to try it you have to enable it in loader.conf setting: compat.linuxkpi.80211.tkip=1 The reason for this is that I belive that rtw88/rtw89 would need further support in mac80211 and I don't want to break them currently. Furthermore I don't want people to encourage using it anymore if avoidable. I could only test on legacy (11g/11a) as (a) I had to force TKIP on on my APs and (b) if TKIP was used I was not allowed to associate with HT/VHT anymore. I hope the APs/Routers for the people waiting for this will allow them at least on HT (or VHT) depending on age. I made sure that at least the Gtk (Group Temporal Key) update worked for me. Please report back how this goes! Lots of joy, Bjoern -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
