[comments welcome. I really need a refresher on what the frame formats

think we had a bug with rfc2042 header frames bigger than 15xx bytes and
eth_type_trans()]

This cleans up the frame receive handling. After this patch
 * EAPOL frames addressed to us or the EAPOL group address are
   always accepted regardless of whether they are encrypted or not

why? userspace (wap_supplicant) tryes to control this depending on the
network settings.
(I don't really know why thought)
maybe it should be handled like drop_unencrypted with default to accept all?
