Shouldn't that be a little more precisely worded? Most drivers already
expect wpa_s to do this, but apparently the assumption was that without
the flag, full-MAC drivers, i.e. drivers implementing the nl80211
connect API (rather than auth/assoc) do it themselves?
Or maybe mac80211 should just set the flag?
