====Problem:====
When setting 802.11w Management Frame Protection to optional in Luci or adding option ieee80211w '1' to /etc/config/wireless to a config wifi-iface, WLAN devices connected to AP are unable to route to other devices in the same subnet/interface.
This only applies when attempting to send data to another client on the same WLAN interface. Clients can still send data to other WLAN interfaces or other subnets (when permitted by firewall).
End clients will received either "Host is down" or "No route".
====Examples:====
WLAN client assigned to 192.168.1.2 cannot find route to 192.168.1.3 with ieee80211w enabled
WLAN client assigned to 192.168.1.2 can find route to 192.168.2.2 with ieee80211w enabled
WLAN client assigned to 192.168.1.2 can find route to 192.168.2.2 with ieee80211w disabled
====Expected Behavior:====
Enabling Management Frame Protection to optional should not break routing to other devices on the same WLAN interface. If set to optional it should not break anything for clients that do not support it. If this is due to
====Additional Info:====
I sadly do not have access to clients which support ieee80211w, so I am unable to test if this issue still occurs with devices that support the feature.
This issue occurs with either wpad-openssl or wpad-basic (I included both version numbers tested above)

The wifi driver mwlwifi is known to have problems with 802.11w Management Frame Protection as "optional". (possibly also with "mandatory", but I haven't tested).
As mwlwifi is practically abandonware that is not developed further, the situation is not expected to improve, as fixes would likely require changes to the closed-source firmware blob.
Not sure if your problem are related to that, but as you have a mwlwifi device, it is a possible culprit.
Ah darn, okay good to know im not going crazy. Been diagnosing this issue for a couple of weeks now and it took a while for me to narrow it down to the ieee80211w.
