The documentation should clearly document what this command is supposed,
currently it only tells me "maintain/lose link" and does not specify in
detail what this is supposed to do. Also there's no mention in what
modes this can be used. (STA, P2P?)

Also please refrain from top posting in public mailing lists, the
preferred way is to edit quotes and bottom post. It's much more natural
way to have long detailed discussions.
