Thanks, applied. The current wireless-dev.git seems to still have code
for this, but since it was not currently used in hostapd, I'm fine with
this patch.
This feature was originally used to allow a station to be disassociated
if it seemed to be using incorrect keys. However, this was causing
interoperability issues with some client implementations and the code
was eventually commented out and this was only used to update a dot11
MIB counters. Consequently, I did not see much point in integrating it
into hostapd and we might as well just remove the TODO item completely
from hostapd.
