IOW I can't see how this is possibly an 802.11 bug and not an implementation bug.

It looks like 802.11 recommends a (poor) RNG, says "real implementations should use better", and... nobody did.
-
Which part of the implementation chooses it? Hardware? Or sw/fw level like hostapd/wpa_supplicant stuff?
-
Looks like software? I don't know, but the paper seems to suggest it is.
-
Yes, it is: hostapd is marked as "secure" because it uses /dev/random for its entropy, rather than 802.11 RNG.

yeah but most HW vendors only tweak the psuedo code in the standard's PoC, even the parts they shouldn't
