ath5k: enable hardware encryption for WEP
This change re-enables hardware encryption for ath5k after setting up mac80211 to handle the initialization vectors which happens to make it work. Add a module param (nohwcrypt) to optionally turn it off. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
