I've seen other funny stuff where an AP will crash hard(-ish?) and the associated stations take a long time to figure out their AP is dead. Could be related to this maybe..or maybe was something else. I have not investigated closely. I'd be happy to have all the beacon miss stuff move to the driver..seems a waste of limited resources in the firmware.
