Yes this module does have some problems. I haven't seen the encapsulate problem, that should encapsulate the info in whatever you set it to. I also don't see this line in AuthorizeNet 3.13 (latest version), perhaps you have a different version of it?

Also I don't see where the name field is required, and the module adds the x_ and the proper name for AuthorizeNet for you (since adding a x_ to all the params is annoying and seems unnessicary). They also don't exactly coorispond, I think the idea is to make all the OnlinePayment modules similar.

Anyway, with the newest version, I had some problems with a missing parameter and sometimes AuthorizeNet was returning '*' characters around the fields along with the encapsulation. I wrote a small patch that fixed these problems and sent it to the authors. I don't believe they have released a new version since however.

Make sure you have the newest version and put in the patch see if it works for you :)
