If your 802.11r AP shows up advertising "WPA2-PSK+FT", then your device likely supports 802.11r, FT stands for Fast Transition... On Android, this works as well, but some ROMs come without wpa_cli. I downloaded some CM12 Rom and extracted wpa_cli from there, copied it to an executable location. There might be an App for that as well.
Because of that, the IEEE 802.11r-2008 protocol, a.k.a. Fast Transition (FT), was developed. DD-WRT does not currently support 802.11r FT but there is support for it in OpenWRT. The wireless client must also support Fast Roaming for this protocol for it to work; typically it will be cell phones that support it.
