Global events originating/directed toward a bridged (i.e. WDS) station are ignored by HostAP. These events are currently considered 'foreign' and are dropped.

This problem was initially discovered while testing the configuration parameter 'disassoc_low_ack=1' for bridged stations. It was observed that the event 'STATION_LOW_ACK', communicated in 'NL80211_CMD_NOTIFY_CQM', would be ignored and the AP would fail to disassociate the low ack station from the BSS.

Thanks, applied.

Please revert this change. When running AP interfaces on multiple bands, it sends events to the wrong interface, as long as they're part of the same bridge.
