It looks like 802.11 recommends a (poor) RNG, says "real implementations should use better", and... nobody did.

Bit of a bug from the spec and the devices both: spec for even mentioning a sub-par RNG, implementations for not reading critically.

Yeah, I think recommending a bad one or any specific one at all is stupid, but without any I can imagine idiots using a 32-bit LCG...
