Comment (by treycarr@…):
Well never mind, I got it working.
I had to remove wpad-mini, and install hostapd. Now it works!
Unfortunately, I found that only a new iPhone 6, and 2013 Macbook Air, and
2014 Macbook Pro worked with 802.11w enabled.
What doesn't work was an iPhone 5, iPad mini 2, Google Nexus 5 (2014), and
none of my HP or Dell laptops. The HP laptop, when running this command:
netsh wlan show drivers reported that "802.11w Management Frame Protection
supported : No" so no surprise it doesn't work. This is a 2010 laptop.
The Dell laptop reported "Yes" for the same question, and is a 2015 laptop
with an Intel 802.11AC wireless chipset. It did not work either.
Interestingly, on the older HP laptop (both Windows 10 by the way) there
was an X symbol for wifi for the 802.11w network. The Dell had no such
'X'. It still doesn't work. I did upgrade all of the drivers for both
with no success.
So as cool as this feature is to block DeAuth attempts against my network,
the usefulness is tempered by the fact that many of my clients apparently
do not support 802.11w. Thanks for the good work you all do in OpenWRT!
