+Subject: [PATCH] WNM: Ignore WNM-Sleep Mode Request in wnm_sleep_mode=0 case
+
+The hostapd wnm_sleep_mode parameter was previously used to control
+advertisement of WNM-Sleep Mode support, but it was not used when
+processing a request to use WNM-Sleep Mode. Add an explicit check during
+request processing as well so that any misbehaving station is ignored.
