Summary

This is currently an untested diff set for implementing the
AES-GCM negotiation in hostap mode.

  • Decode the AES-GCM-128 cipher in the RSN field;
  • Add AES-GCM as the first cipher to check when deciding the unicast cipher type;
  • Refactor out the "can we do HT A-MPDU + this cipher" check for the unicast cipher; and
  • .. add AES-GCM-128 to the allowable ciphers.

I haven't tested this yet to make sure I haven't broken the hostapd
path, nor that it actually DOES negotiate AES-GCM-128.
