mac80211: Cancel pending probereq poll on beacon RX
While the probe request poll is expected to work, it looks like it does not always result in getting a response. The exact reason for this is unclear, but anyway, if we do receive a Beacon frame from our AP, there is no need to disconnect based on the probereq poll. This seems to help keep the connection bit more stable in cases where beacon loss is occurring semi-frequently. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
