Subject: ath5k: Hardware Management Frame Protection

Hi, all

Is the management frame protection (IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE)
supported by the ath5k hardware?

Secured mesh requires the support of AES CMAC (00-0f-ac:6) cipher for
multicast management frame. However, this cipher only makes available
by the hardware flag IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE. Can I simply turn this
on base.c?

Please advice. Thanks

Regards,
