This is true, I just added that to ensure I hit these when testing
really, I can nuke the counter, but it can help if eventually believe
we have a proper fix to allow these frames through somehow too.

Yeah, good point, although I am under the impression this is a similar
situation, we probably try to send a nullfunc to notify the old AP we
are going to go awake if we are transmitting data while roaming. But
yeah, its not easily triggerable yet.

That's reasonable but we will still need the channel, otherwise how
would we know its this issue?
