BIP is not used to encrypt the frame, i.e., if you are looking for a
frame with MMIE, it will still be unencrypted.. Did you verify whether
the MMIE is included in the end of the frame? I'm assuming you have
configured hostapd to enable IEEE 802.11w and using a driver that
supports MFP in the first place since it is up to driver to take care of
BIP (i.e., derivation and addition of the MMIE to broadcast robust
management frames).
