From: Reinette Chatre<reinette.chatre@xxxxxxxxx> The connection monitor currently relies on probe requests paired with probe responses to ensure that a connection is alive. This is fragile in some environments where probe responses can get lost. When we receive beacons we can also consider the connection to be alive, so cancel connection poll instance when we receive a beacon.
I'm chasing a similar problem while working on virtual STA device support in ath5k. I was also going to try sending up to 3 polls before giving up on the connection. Does that seems like a valid thing to do? I'll try using this patch as well to see if that helps.
