I have not had much success implementing 802.11w. Either the wireless manufacturer or the client device implementation tends to be buggy. My most recent case is between Extreme Network 802.11ac APs and any MacBook Pro. It's left me scratching my head as to why a protection mechanism such as this isn't mandatory by now. Because mandating aspects of the protocol seems to be the only sure way of easing compatibility woes.
