nullfunc frames are better for connection monitoring, because probe requests are answered even if the AP has already dropped the connection, whereas nullfunc frames from an unassociated station will trigger a disassoc/deauth frame from the AP (WLAN_REASON_CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA), which allows the station to reconnect immediately instead of waiting until it attempts to transmit the next unicast frame. This only works on hardware with reliable tx ACK reporting, any other hardware needs to fall back to the probe request method. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
