ieee80211_hw_set(hw, MFP_CAPABLE); hopefully that is correct.

As a matter of fact it was sufficient.  I can now connect to my AP
with 802.11w required and prior to this one line change I could not.
Thanks for taking the time to suggest this, it seems to work well
enough to connect.  I don't much have a means to test to see if deauth
frames are properly handled, do you have any test cases you want to
suggest or are you comfortable enough that it should work properly?

Thanks,
