Since you didn't reply I'm going to arrive to the obvious conclusion;
we *already* connect to APs even if we don't receive any beacons, my
patch simply makes it consistent for the drivers that set
IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC.

Therefore all your reasons to not apply the patch have been dismissed.
