AP <-> STA: tcpdump shows duplicate ARP request from STA, but STA only sends one.

Hi!

The "null frame" is from hostap. It sends it out whenever a new
station (re) joins. It's a broadcast frame that's harmless, designed
to "seed" all the switches with the true location of the MAC address.

As for dup packets, I'm not sure. Hm!
