One thing I forgot, do we need a special iwlwifi flag to turn this off? Or can iwlwifi be programmed to let the host handle this (*), which might be beneficial for interoperability and uniformity purposes? johannes (*) it would need to implement a beacon filter that passes up only modified beacons (where modified doesn't take into account the TIM IE except for the own AID/bcast bits), and turns off the null function stuff in firmware
