/**
+ * DOC: Beacon filter support
+ *
+ * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
+ * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
+ * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
+ * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
+ * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
+ * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
+ * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
+ *
+ * Beacon filter support is informed with %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER flag.
+ * The driver needs to enable beacon filter support whenever power save is
+ * enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When power save is enabled,
+ * the stack will not check for beacon miss at all and the driver needs to
+ * notify about complete loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
