If we cannot we may be trying to use the incorrect band to talk to the sta. Lets catch any such cases, warn, and drop the frames to not invalidate assumptions being made on rate control algorithms when they have a valid sta to communicate with. Any such cases should be handled and fixed. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
