That looks a bit different from what I thought though? Not really sure I
understand that though :-)

What I'm thinking is that if you always just start beaconing, wouldn't
you just reset the beacon whenever you notice a higher TSF show up in
the network?

Actually I think we call reset_tsf() or something like that? But all of
that has always seemed very quirky to me.
