This makes no sense, IMO.

If there really are no beacons at all, then nothing can work with the AP
-- things like HT, regulatory/radar, powersave, multiple virtual
interfaces and many others require beacons.

If the AP is sending beacons but the device isn't receiving them, then
it's a driver bug and mac80211 shouldn't work around it.
