I don't know what has happened here, but ieee80211_privacy_mismatch()
and being able to disable/enable mixed-cell operations was here for
purpose (to prevent associating with APs that have mismatching
configuration by default, but allowing this to be enabled if the target
network is known to use some of the virtual AP designs that would
otherwise cause problems). However, someone seems to have broken this
completely by removing the mixed_cell configuration option..
