I'm confused with the sentence.

For requested CSA we recalculate beacon IEs. Actually now that I think
about it.. is this properly updated when constructing after_csa beacon
for CSA request itself? Hmm..

For an unsolicited CS the beacon isn't updated (as with ieee80211ac
update in patch 1/3) -- but it should be.


Micha?
