[PATCH] Ignore "DEAUTH" messages from APs we are not associated to

[Paul Stewart]

Hi Blaise.  The are fixes to mac8011 that filter out DEAUTH messages
coming from an AP for which we have no BSS state (when one is using
nl80211) I mentioned last time are now pushed into wireless-test, and
are in current nightly compat-wireless builds.  Could you try using a
newer compat-wireless?
