I just don't think that this patch is a solution because it means that
we'll be connected to the AP forever, without knowing anything is wrong,
if the AP can reach us but we can't reach the AP (maybe because we have
a good Intel card with great sensitivity).

Sure -- it's possible to factor in transmit status reports (but remember
that not all hardware gives those reliably) or do things on a different
schedule etc. But as long as nobody wants to really improve things I
don't see why we should take the regression and _remove_ the current
behaviour.
