Option to disable hardware encryption? #88

Open raulsiles opened 6 years ago

Hardware encryption must be disabled in Wi-Fi adapters to test for the KRACK attacks.

The parameters for this driver/module do not include the common nohwcrypt, swcrypto, or hwcrypto (see the KRACK "disable-hwcrypto.sh" script file). The only "crypt" related parameter seems to be:

# systool -vm 8812au | grep crypt
    rtw_decrypt_phy_file= "0" 

Is it possible to disable hardware encryption for this driver (8812au) in Linux (e.g. Kali Linux)?
