 "verdict": "Line-accurate confirmation; runtime demonstration not possible on this guest (requires an 11h DFS-capable AP VAP with quiet enabled after beacon construction; QEMU has no 802.11 radio). beacon_construct records bo->bo_quiet=frm and only writes an 8-byte Quiet IE when iv_quiet was set at construct time (ieee80211_output.c:3173-3180); beacon_update unconditionally calls ieee80211_add_quiet(bo->bo_quiet, vap) once iv_quiet is enabled (:3574-3575) - an in-bounds write over the first bytes of the ERP/xrates/RSN region that corrupts the transmitted beacon IE chain. Fix tracks Quiet-IE presence (bo_quiet_set) and skips the update write when absent; compiled in the F40FIX build (wlan in kernel).",
