Description Nico 2024-02-23 08:32:18 UTC
Hi there,

As discussed in [1] this chipset in station mode never detects beacon misses.
This means that a sta connection will stay up forever if the AP stops without sending a disassoc frame first.

The code seems to be there to detect the beacon miss from the roaming event in the wmi interface but this never gets triggered from my tests.

Is it because my chipset is more of an AP chip and not a station one ?
Maybe we just need to send the proper config through wmi for this feature to actually work on this one ?
