From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> In a AP/STA concurrent setup, if the STA interface is continually scanning, trying to connect to a network, the AP interface is basically broken since beaconing would be erratic. This option can be used in a WDS setup where one AP acts as a Client/AP-Repeater. The Repeater AP interface has to start beaconing only after the Client interface has established a WDS link with the "Root AP".
