From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be NA proxies
that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests.
To prevent unsolicitd advertisements on the shared medium from
being a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them.

Enable this by providing an option called "drop_unsolicited_na".
