Re: [PATCH] mac80211: don't require associated->beacon_ies for ps

beacon_ies is needed only in order to extract the dtim
period. However, even if it's missing we can still enter
ps with dtim=1 (which also happens if the TIM ie is invalid).

Most drivers don't use conf.max_sleep_period/ps_dtim_period
anyway, and this check prevents them from entering ps if
they don't have beacon (but only probe response), even though
the beacon is not needed at all.

I'll apply this, but if somebody doesn't fix the PS stuff soon I'll be
very tempted to just rip it out ;-)
