Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: add new rssi event to indicate beacon loss
Date: Tue, 15 May 2012 14:50:58 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337082658-25363-1-git-send-email-eliad@wizery.com> (raw)

Tell userspace about beacon loss event.
This event doesn't replace the deauth/disassoc that
might come if the AP is not available.

The driver can send this event in order to hint
userspace what might follow (which in turn can
use it as roaming trigger).
