Copy and Pasted Section?

The section Usuage seems to be copied from some sort of scientific paper:

We finally see some encryption for management frames, which has been desired for a longer time. With the requirement for WFA certification of PMF for 11n, 11ac and Passpoint, we should be able to set this feature to optional, the required/mandatory flag can only be used if the client support is assured. It may be a rare case, but some hackers use the disassociate attacks to move clients to their own AP, which can now be prevented. An attacker can still send channel switch announcements to steer clients to his AP and of course as soon as an attacker is connected to the network with PMF, he or she is able to perform attacks with protected frames as well. So the remaining disturbance of client connections/transmissions without a network connection are RF jamming and CTS control frames with long reservation times.

Not suitable for wikipedia article?

Windows 8. This has caused a number of compatibility issues particularly with wireless access points that are not compatible with the standard. Rolling back the wireless adapter driver to one from Windows 7 usually fixes the issue.

This seems temporal and too specific for a wikipedia article. Maybe marking it as historical? A separate History section? --Xerces8 (talk) 13:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
