From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx> The only reason we ask to mac80211 to wait for a dtim before to associate is to get an accurate DTIM value. However, we can temporary set the dtim period to 1. Then we can waiting for BSS_CHANGED_BEACON_INFO for the real value. Thus, the association process is faster.
