The patch did get to patchwork and is assigned to Gregory: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20220226045047.643695-1-mikezackles@xxxxxxxxx/ Gregory, please take a look. This looks to be a common problem. Not really fond of a module parameter approach, I think it should be automatic. Why not just increase the default beacon timeout value? -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
