hostapd: rsn replay counters issue

Hi,

According to the src/ap/wpa_auth_ie.c code:
Setting 16 rsn replay counters depends on if WMM mode was set.

int wpa_write_rsn_ie()
{
...
        if (conf->wmm_enabled) {
		/* 4 PTKSA replay counters when using WMM */
		capab |= (RSN_NUM_REPLAY_COUNTERS_16 << 2);
	}
...
}

However, if I don't want for my hostap to support WMM, it breaks ability to use
WPA/WPA2 security.

Is it correct behavior ?

Thanks,

Dmitry
