Practically instead of association check what will remain is check if everything is station is properly configured. Meaning stations is configured in the set in the firmware and rate scale is also set. This will cover all modes. Need to implement sta_notify handler and move some code from rate scaling to the driver. There will be never full synchronization between mac80211 and the driver about internal station state but the check might be very simplified. Thanks Tomas
