Send de-authentication packet on reception of authentication request packet from STA
Add a configuration parameter called “deauth_on_auth_request_rx” in hostapd conf file
If “deauth_on_auth_request_rx=0”, then this feature is disabled
If “deauth_on_auth_request_rx=1”, then this feature is enabled

Check for de-authentication packet
Check packet No.119 and 120
Observe 119 is authentication request packet and 120 is deauthentication packet
