Subject: [PATCH 1/14] d80211: allow for hardware crypto of default keys

From: David Kimdon <david.kimdon@...icescape.com>

Remove incorrect prohibition of hardware crypto support.  This was
originally present to prevent hardware crypto when more than one
station interface was created for a single hardware device, the code
in question is no longer correct and should be removed.
