I think you mean "privacy". I'm not sure about it right now, would have
to dig, but maybe the answer to the others helps you?

All these pretty much exist for hw that doesn't want to use the IE(s)
contained in the connect parameters. If you send an assoc request with
those IEs, you can safely ignore the parameters here. It's just there so
one doesn't have to parse the IEs.
