Summary0009590: aircrack-ng SIMD auto-detection fails on Raspberry Pi 5 (Cortex-A76) → 13× slowdown in wifite (Issue 0000363 misdiagnosis)
Description

Always on Pi 5, never on Pi Zero 2 W
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5 (Cortex-A76) vs. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (Cortex-A53) for comparison.

Steps to Reproduce:
Boot Kali 2024.4 (or any later rolling release) on a Raspberry Pi 5.
Run any wifite command that triggers aircrack-ng (e.g. wifite --crack -i wlan0mon or a WPA handshake capture).

Observe aircrack-ng speed (visible in wifite output or by running aircrack-ng directly).
Observed performance (from original reporter):

Mode
Speed
--simd=generic (forced)
210 k/s
--simd=neon (auto-detected)
2,800 k/s

→ 13× slowdown caused entirely by missing NEON acceleration.

@Mister_X where you at brother?
