This update comes via NL80211_CMD_SET_BEACON. Such updates work well as long as the group continues to have at least one non-transmitted profile as NL80211_ATTR_MBSSID_ELEMS is included in the new Beacon template. But when the last non-trasmitted profile is removed, it still gets included in Beacon templates sent to driver. This happens because when no MBSSID elements are sent by the userspace, ieee80211_assign_beacon() ends up using the element stored from earlier Beacon template. Do not copy old MBSSID elements, instead userspace should always include these when applicable.
