It is possible that a station device might miss an ACK for an authentication, association, or action frame, and thus retransmit the same frame although the frame is already being processed in the stack. While the duplicated frame should really be dropped in the kernel or firmware code where duplicate detection is implemented for data frames, it is possible that pre-association cases are not fully addressed (which is the case at least with mac80211 today) and the frame may be delivered to upper layer stack. In such a case, the local AP will process the retransmitted frame although it has already handled the request, which might cause the station to get confused and as a result disconnect from the AP, blacklist it, etc. To avoid such a case, save the sequence control of the last processed management frame and in case of retransmissions drop them.

wpa_supplicant and hostapd -------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002-2014, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors All Rights Reserved. These programs are licensed under the BSD license (the one with advertisement clause removed). If you are submitting changes to the project, please see CONTRIBUTIONS file for more instructions. This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
