You have to hack the firmware (and patch driver) to make this work. I have patches to make
rx-sw-crypt work with my CT firmware. Been releasing this only for non-commercial
use, but I'd be willing to make it supported without restriction and instead
limit number of stations to < 16 when sw-crypt was enabled. This leaves my
commercial offering worth paying for for the few people that might compete against
our testing products.
I had all sorts of trouble, similar to what you describe trying to get raw tx
to work, and eventually gave up entirely. My method of rx-sw-crypt uses normal tx
(with hardware offload), but decrypts on the host.
Thanks,
Ben
