RSN IE missing in beacon is normal in open networks.
Avoid returning -EINVAL in this case.
Steps to reproduce:
$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="testNet"
mode=2
key_mgmt=NONE
}
$ wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
nl80211: Beacon set failed: -22 (Invalid argument)
Failed to set beacon parameters
Interface initialization failed
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
Failed to initialize AP interface
After the change:
$ wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED
