The separate Association Comeback Time IE was removed from IEEE 802.11w
and the Timeout Interval IE (from IEEE 802.11r) is used instead. The
editing on this is still somewhat incomplete in IEEE 802.11w/D7.0, but
still, the use of Timeout Interval IE is the expected mechanism.
IEEE 802.11w/D7.0 incorrectly changed the Action Category from 8 to 7
when renaming Ping to SA Query. Category 7 is reserved for HT (IEEE
802.11n) and IEEE 802.11w will need to continue to use the category 8
that was allocated for it.
This commit changes just the name and Action category per D7.0. The
retransmit/timeout processing in the AP is not yet updated with the
changes in D7.0.
This IE is not (at least yet) actually used for anything, but parsing it
cleans up verbose debug log a bit since thie previously unknown, but
commonly used, vendor IE was being reported as unknown.
This updates management frame protection to use the assocition ping process
from the latest draft (D6.0) to protect against unauthenticated
authenticate or (re)associate frames dropping association.
This adds most of the new frame format and identifier definitions from IEEE
802.11w/D6.0. In addition, the RSN IE capability field values for MFP is
replaced with the new two-bit version with MFPC (capable) and MFPR
(required) processing.
This commit brings in cleaned up version of IEEE 802.11n implementation
from Intel (1). The Intel tarball includes number of other changes, too,
and only the changes specific to IEEE 802.11n are brought in here. In
addition, this does not include all the changes (e.g., some of the
configuration parameters are still missing and driver wrapper changes for
mac80211 were not included).

This allows associations to be denied if the STA tries to use too large
listen interval. The default value is 65535 which matches with the field
size limits.
