Err, are you positive? I think the code there is correct, apart from the
fact that it does no validation of
mgmt->u.action.u.plink_action.action_code whatsoever which may allow all
kinds of abuse :)

The only action that's valid w/o having a station entry for the peer is
PLINK_OPEN, which makes perfect sense.
