Subject[PATCH 13/16] wl1251: enforce changed hw encryption support on monitor state change
Date
From: David Gnedt <david.gnedt@davizone.at>

The firmware doesn't support per packet encryption selection, so disable hw
encryption support completly while a monitor interface is present to support
injection of packets (which shouldn't get encrypted by hw).
To enforce the changed hw encryption support force a disassociation on
non-monitor interfaces.
For disassociation a workaround using hw connection monitor is employed,
which temporary enables hw connection manager flag.
