-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
patch b331615722779b078822988843ddffd4eaec9f83 in mainline.
In STA mode, the AP will echo our traffic. This includes multicast
traffic.
Receiving these frames confuses some protocols and applications,
notably IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection.
