Good point. I once had a bad bug in stlc45xx tx queue handling and
firmware was crashing all the time. While the firmware was reset
association state wasn't changed and I could, for example, run iperf
tests while firmware was resetting without userspace noticing anything
(expect a slight decreare of throughput of course). This might depend
on firmware implementation, but at least with softmac devices it
shouldn't be a problem.
