I agree.  I've have limited success in making things work better with
newer firmware.  I almost thought I had it figured out then after
a long time my test machine locked up.  So that victory was short lived.

I also have MIC started and the HW bits interfaced I do not have the
encryption part tied it.  That looks to be more of a challenge then
I thought ... or that I haven't been inspired enough.  I'm not sure
if Sam's new stuff does MIC or not.  If it does I might be able
to tie into that.

To be fair I haven't spent enough time on it due to other bugs that
have popped up at work with FreeBSD.
