I see in:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130145440930760&w=2

That SAE support is in for mesh networking.  SAE is so defined that it 
can be used for STA authentication to an AP or in AdHoc mode.  It is NOT 
limited to mesh node authentication.  This was extensively discussed at 
the 802.11 meetings as a reason that specific support of SAE by STAs did 
not need to be defined; it was already in there.

so......

if an AP is advertising SAE in an IE in the BEACON, what will it take 
for the STA to respond?  Does this patch provide the necessary 
functionality?  See sec 8.2a in IEEE 802.11s-2011.

Thank you.
