Description of problem: Wireless hangs with hwcrypto=1 turned on. Worked in 2.6.23.1-42. Turned it off and it works ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS
Is this still a probelm with current F8 kernels?
After upgrade from f7 I had to edit /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant and comment DRIVERS="-Dwext"

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. :-) I'm still going to leave it closed for now -- please reopen if the problem is still happending with current F8 kernels.
Sorry for the late answer. I just tested with: vermagic: 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS unload module and reload with options ipw2200 led=1 hwcrypto=1 -> works reboot just in case with the same parm -> works In other words it works again.
Ok some more feedback. While it seems to work in general, it's flaky. Meaning I was running a streaming video and the led went on and off, and the stream began to break up at times. First thought was I had something CPU intensive running in the back, so I rebooted since I just upgraded the kernel via yum. Clean fresh machine same video same problem. So I unloaded the module and reloaded without hwcrypto=1 and the problem went away. modinfo: vermagic: 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS Options with problem: #options ipw2200 led=1 hwcrypto=1 Options without any problem: options ipw2200 led=1 Workaround run without hwcrypto.
