From: David Spinadel <david.spinadel@xxxxxxxxx> In some cases, after a sudden AP disappearing and reconnection to another AP in the same ESS, user space gets the old AP in scan results (cached). User space may decide to roam to that old AP which will cause a disconnection and longer recovery. Remove APs that are probably out of range from BSS table.
