Not so, we run AES on Xscale, P4 and Athlon processors for a/b/g wireless switches. We use standard NICs and standard radios. If you do decide to use specialist hardware it's between the NIC and the network stack. That's sort of why you can do it in hardware or software, it's just a replacement for the old encryption systems.
