Some legacy stations copy previously reserved RSN capability bits,
including OCVC, in (Re)Association Request frames from the AP's RSNE but
do not indicate MFP capability and/or do not send OCI in RSN handshakes.
This is causing connection failures with such erroneous STAs.
To improve interoperability with such legacy STAs allow a workaround OCV
mode to be enabled to ignore OCVC=1 from the STA if it does not follow
OCV requirements in the first protected exchange. This covers cases
where a STA claims to have OCV capability, but it does not negotiate use
of management frame protection or does not include OCI in EAPOL Key msg
2/4, FT Reassociation Request frame, or FILS (Re)Association Reqest.
The previous behavior with ocv=1 is maintained, i.e., misbehaving STAs
are not allowed to connect. When the new workaround mode is enabled with
ocv=2, the AP considers STA as OCV capable on below criteria
- STA indicates both OCV and MFP capability
- STA sends OCI during connection attempt in a protected frame
Enabling this workaround mode reduced OCV protection to some extend
since it allows misbehavior to go through. As such, this should be
enabled only if interoperability with misbehaving STAs is needed.
