wpa in main and stab;e/15 is the same

sys/net80211 has two differences:  one is Adrian's crypto comments and abstractions as well as some time difference check fixes, the other one is Gleb's BPF work.

sys/dev/iwn has some extra work from Adrian for sequence number offload.

11a or 11g association only and see if that makes a difference.

Otherwise I have no clue.
