In any case, I'm not really comfortable connecting to an AP that we
never ever receive beacons from.

Well, we are *already* doing that for every driver, except the ones
that do IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC, which are few.

Since you didn't reply I'm going to arrive to the obvious conclusion;
we *already* connect to APs even if we don't receive any beacons, my
patch simply makes it consistent for the drivers that set
IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC.

Therefore all your reasons to not apply the patch have been dismissed.
