[RFC v1 1/1] hostapd: Beacon generation with Power Constraint IE - 11h TPC

[Srinivasan B]

Hi All,
         I request anyone to review the RFC 0/1 and RFC 1/1 of "Beacon 
generation with Power Constraint IE- 11h TPC" and let me know if 
something is not appropriate, so that I can work on it and resend the same.

I could also re-base it to the latest hostapd development version and 
resend it as a patch.

Thanks,
Srinivasan
