I think it doesn't need to be so intrusive. You could just have a private
setting to select or deselect your advanced encryption. No need to remove
__orinoco_ev_rx() and orinoco_xmit() from orinoco.c. Just check if SES is
enabled and if so, call the encryption or decryption function.
It looks like you broke monitor mode because you replaced the whole
__orinoco_ev_rx() function. Monitor mode may be useful even with the
security enhanced driver.
Using local_fake_mac instead of dev->dev_addr may be fragile. The driver
assumes that dev->dev_addr is the MAC address currently used by the
hardware. Better set dev->dev_addr to whatever you want. You may need to
preserve the original value if you are going to use it later.
