I retested your patch again using 802.11g and could see this behaviour:

1. test: network idle
The 4/4 package is sent unencrypted as proposed. The rekeying did work
(but works fine too, without your patch).

2. test: network with high payload (netperf)
The 4/4 package couldn't be seen, but therefore 6(!) packages of payload
going from supplicant -> AP *unencrypted* . The rekeying didn't work
nevertheless.


Therefore: Big fat warning: don't use this patch at all!


Kind regards,
Andreas
