When PSM is enabled, the wl1271 performs connection recovery independently by sending probe-requests to the associated-to AP if it detects beacon loss. The wl1271 only indicates connection problem after the probe-requests have failed. At this stage, it's useless for the mac80211 to send further probe requests in attempt to recover the connection. This v4 of the patch introduces the ieee80211_connection_loss function to be used instead of ieee80211_beacon_loss for HW doing it's own connection maintenance. This patch has been tested with the wl1271 driver. I'm hoping to be close to completion with these patches, but obviously, comments and suggestions are welcomed.
