When MFP is enabled, the multicast management frames are not protected, in fact. Instead, but they should include an IE containing the MMIC of the frames (i.e. a cryptographic signature). Until now, the driver didn't correctly detect this kind of frames (they are not marked protected but they are associated to a key) and didn't ask to the device to encrypt them. In add, the device is not able to generate the IE itself. Mac80211 has to generate the IE and let the device compute the MMIC.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
