Does Intel PROSet Wireless Driver Support AES-NI?

Does the Intel PROSet Wireless Driver take advantage of the new AES-NI instructions available in the Core i5-520M processor?

If the driver supports AES-NI, I would think encryption/decryption of wireless communications would be more efficient.

I'm pairing the CPU with the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 wireless adapter, if that makes any difference.
