Good point, it's not possible to implement this without changes to the
MAC.

Then we'll first have to find those vendors interested in actually
changing their MAC to allow .11s I guess.
I haven't seen the 11s spec, are devices with softmac implementations
flexible enough to implement it or do they need firmware changes too?
