The old values conflicted with ANA approved values. The new values
were chosen to be consistent with those for the ANA request plan
for 802.11s.
The Peer Link IE no longer exists in draft standards, replaced by
the Peer Management IE. Leaving the old definition in was prudent
until mesh code can be changed to match.
