While this may be a reasonable change to resolve an issue now, this may
not be the best long term solution. There are some association failure
cases which should really be handled by trying association again instead
of deauthenticating. The main example would be the association comeback
time use in IEEE 802.11w. In general, association failure should not
result in deauthentication in every case.
