Previously, mesh peering frames from a STA without a station entry were being dropped. Mesh Peering Open and Co. frames (WLAN_CATEGORY_SELF_PROTECTED) although from a yet unknown STA are valid mesh peering frames. The STA entry will followingly be created in mesh_peer_init. The problem was previously worked around since both STA receive the beacons of one another which create the STA entry. Yet, this creates an unnecessary delay and beacons may not be received if either node is in PS mode.
