Me neither but how about these phrases? --- A STA may decline to communicate with STAs that fail to advertise an RSN information element in their Beacon and Probe Response frames or that do not advertise an authorized SSID. A STA shall advertise the same RSN information element in both its Beacon and Probe Response frames. --- It sounds to me like its not required, but if its not there and/or doesn't match the probe response - then a client (STA) may 'decline to communicate' with it. This entire document (802.11i) is about WPA2 by the way ... and how stations need to behave to talk to each other securely ... -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
