From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently, firmware take in charge of start/stop sending beacons while in IBSS mode. However, this behavior may change in the further releases. Currently, asking to firmware to send beacon while in IBSS mode return an error but is harmless. Therefore, send this request unconditionally.
