I imagined that would be part of it, but possibly not after reading:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb878054.aspx
That suggests that the client authenticates to other access points in
the area, and caches the PMK information thus generating multiple
authentication sessions; instead of resuming the same session (which is
what I had assumed) using fast session resumption.
It's damn hard to find any solid technical information, it looks like
you have to have "Adopter Membership" ($5000 per anum) with the wifi
alliance before you can access anything resembling an RFC.
