Is that a big problem? We actually had this intentionally, and we go to
PS before going to sleep, so if the sleep is very short then we will not
be disconnected. Also, it's much easier this way to implement WoWLAN.
So before going to sleep ensure that all stations
got deauthenticated.
Also your text and subject and code is really confusing -- I thought you
wanted to deauthenticate stations that are associated to mac80211 acting
as an AP.
