From: Markus Theil <markus.theil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5af7fef39d7952c0f5551afa7b821ee7b6c9dd3d ] When using 802.1X over mesh networks, at first an ordinary mesh peering is established, then the 802.1X EAPOL dialog happens, afterwards an authenticated mesh peering exchange (AMPE) happens, finally the peering is complete and we can set the STA authorized flag. As 802.1X is an intermediate step here and key material is not yet exchanged for stations we have to skip mesh path lookup for these EAPOL frames. Otherwise the already configure mesh group encryption key would be used to send a mesh path request which no one can decipher, because we didn't already establish key material on both peers, like with SAE and directly using AMPE.
