With the addition of connect_bssid/roam very few tests actually
require hwsim. Since hwsim can lead to problems with scan results
its best to have it off by default and have each test that needs
it explicitly turn it on.
Tests which previously turned it off have had that option removed.
Tests that do require hwsim still are vulnerable to scan result
problems, so for these tests beacon_int was added to the hostapd
config which seems to help with reliability somewhat.
Two autotests:
1. Tests SA Query procedure when the AP goes down. In this case the AP
goes down ungracefully, now allowing it to send out any deauth
frames. When the AP comes back up, IWD still thinks its connected.
The AP will then send unprotected disassociate frames so the client
can re-connect. This kicks off the SA Query procedure, which the AP
will not respond to. At this point we can deauth and reconnect to
the AP.
2. Test SA Query procedure when a disassociate frame has been spoofed.
In this case we receive an unprotected disassociate frame and start
SA Query. The AP should then respond to the SA query within the
timeout. We then know the frame was spoofed and can remain
connected.
