This test suite validates that DUT handles corrupt frames gracefully. The tests generate corrupted management frames for the SoftAP hosted on DUT machine to receive. All fields are corrupted except for fields in the 802.11 header. IEs are also generated with corrupt fields. The hosted network on DUT should handle the frames gracefully.
