in 24 too, the ipod probably didn't see the beacon in frame 23 even
though 23 was a dtim beacon (which is a bit odd, but maybe the ipod
doesn't care about mcast at this point)

Indeed. Christian, is it possible that the p54 device is actually
filtering these frames? I'm pretty sure mac80211 behaves correctly, and
it unsetting the TIM bit means that it must no longer have traffic
buffered.
