I believe that this is technically incorrect: they're assuming that because P2P IEs are included, the device is P2P *capable* - completely unrelated to connecting as a P2P-client (vs. a regular BSS client). Because the device is P2P capable, there's a policy decision in the configuration to not allow these clients to connect. This is actually described in sections 3.4.3/3.4.4 of the P2P spec, and we should probably implement the recommendations there? johannes
