It looks like. Note that there's also *disable*, which we hadn't even
implemented before.

Which makes sense, yeah.

Right. However, I guess we could allow updating/changing this setting on
the fly through nl80211_set_beacon() which already allows changing other
non-beacon parameters (like the probe or assoc response templates), and
then we can use your approach. Basically changing "SET_BEACON" to be a
bit like "CHANGE_AP". In that case we definitely would need the
attribute to be 0/1 as you had it so that it not present can be used to
indicate "no change".
