Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix regression in sta connection monitor
-When the nulldata frame was acked, the probe send count needs to be reset,
-otherwise it will keep increasing until the connection is considered dead,
-even though it fine.
+When a frame was acked and probe frames were sent, the connection monitoring
+needs to be reset, otherwise it will keep probing until the connection is
+considered dead, even though frames have been acked in the mean time.
