I think that ath5k is not hardware MFP capable, but actually could do
AES CMAC in software. But key installation using AES CMAC of authsae
on the multicast management frame are failed due to the checking of
cfg80211_supported_cipher_suit which is based on
IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE. So the only way is bypass this checking.
What do you think?
