[PATCH] cfg80211: Use capability info to detect mesh beacons.

[Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com>]

Mesh beacons no longer use all-zeroes BSSID.  Beacon frames for MBSS,
infrastructure BSS, or IBSS are differentiated by the Capability
Information field in the Beacon frame.  A mesh STA sets the ESS and IBSS
subfields to 0 in transmitted Beacon or Probe Response management
frames.
