I added this bug primarily due to an impedance mismatch regarding whether or
not STA nodes supported SendFrom.

I rather hazily remembered an issue with SendFrom, but I think the answer is
that the impedance in NqstaWifiMac is correct -- the resolution to this bug is
along the lines of,

bool
NqstaWifiMac::SupportsSendFrom (void) const
{
  //
  // The 802.11 MAC protocol has no way to support bridging outside of
  // infrastructure mode
  //
  return false;
}

void
NqstaWifiMac::Enqueue (Ptr<const Packet> packet, Mac48Address to, Mac48Address
from)
{
  NS_FATAL_ERROR ("Qsta does not support SendFrom");
}

And the tap-bridge just has to deal with it ...
