Still not very proficient pn wpa_s, but the action frames are done in 
similar way.

nl80211_init_p2p_dev():
         /* Register P2P Public Action frame on the device interface */
         type = (WLAN_FC_TYPE_MGMT << 2) | (WLAN_FC_STYPE_ACTION << 4);
         nl80211_register_frame(p2p_dev, bss->nl_mgmt, type,
                                (u8 *) "\x04\x09\x50\x6f\x9a\x09", 6);
