//
// Used in 802.11 infrastructure mode: handles management frames for a station (STA).
//
// This module accepts commands such as Scan, Authenticate, Deauthenticate,
// Associate, Reassociate, Deassociate from a connected agent module, and carries
// out the requested action by sending/receiving management frames, switching
// channels, etc.
//
// It implementes both active and passive scanning (where active means sending
// Probe frames). The authentication process is simulated by exchanging dummy
// messages, i.e. there is no actual cryptography or not its detailed simulation
// involved.
//
// Relies on the MAC layer (~Ieee80211Mac) for reception and transmission of frames.
