nl80211: add new rssi event to indicate beacon loss (5dad021d) · Commits · 戴 / test

Tell userspace about beacon loss event. This event doesn't replace the deauth/disassoc that might come if the AP is not available. The driver can send this event in order to hint userspace what might follow (which in turn can use it as roaming trigger). Signed-off-by:
