hostapd and 802.11r

[Ben Greear]

We've been trying to get this working, but no luck so far.

I notice you have 'ft_bridge' config in your examples, but I cannot find
any reference to that in my hostapd repo.  Is this one of the private
features that is not upstream yet?  Is it required?

Thanks,
Ben
