While debugging a problem with group-rekeys, we noticed that the sniffer (on external machine)

It seems to me that these should be in the VO queue instead, or at least
we should be able to specify the queue in supplicant when sending the frames?

This is a problem in supplicant/hostapd.  They were not setting the socket
priority to (256 + 7) as they should have been doing.  With that fix, packets
on the air show the proper 'VO' QoS queue.

I posted patches to fix supplicant/hostapd to the hostapd mailing list.
Hopefully they are proper patches...at least they seem to work for me.

At least the hostapd side of this seemed to slip in with the addition
of the new non-monitor eapol tx status feature.

Thanks,
Ben
