Folks,
I have a need to troubleshoot/test 802.11k, 802.11u, and 802.11r messaging.
Does anyone know if AirPcap Nx + Wireshark will capture and properly decode these 802.11 amendments:
802.11k
802.11r
802.11u
I have looked in Wireshark forums and seen references to all of the above amendments but I can't find anything conclusive to indicate the level of support for these headers/fields/messages.
Thanks for any insight.

What products are you using that will do 802.11r?

George,
I don't know yet. However, to begin testing devices I'll need a tool that can decode the protocols so I can see who supports what.
Based on my research for evidence sake,
Wireshark 1.7.0 dev branch appears to:
Support 802.11u fully
Support 802.11r fully
Support 802.11k partially
The 802.11k information elements I can't find or are not supported for 802.11k are:
7.3.2.42 Measurement Pilot Transmission Information
7.3.2.43 BSS Available Admission Capacity
7.3.2.44 BSS AC Access Delay supported
7.3.2.45 RRM Enabled Capabilities
7.3.2.46 Multiple BSSID
