Firmware link offload monitoring can be made to work in 3/4 cases by switching on firmware feature bit WLANACTIVE_OFFLOAD - Secure power-save on - Secure power-save off - Open power-save on However, with an open AP if we switch off power-saving - thus never entering Beacon Mode Power Save - BMPS, firmware never forwards loss of beacon upwards. We had hoped that WLANACTIVE_OFFLOAD and some fixes for sequence numbers would unblock this but, it hasn't and further investigation is required. Its possible to have a complete set of Secure power-save on/off and Open power-save on/off provided we use Linux' link monitoring mechanism. While we debug the Open AP failure we need to fix upstream. This reverts commit c973fdad79f6eaf247d48b5fc77733e989eb01e1.
