Description

i am using the latest mt76 update
22.03-SNAPSHOT

I don't touch the phone for a while, it goes into idle mode, but when I touch the device again, the connection doesn't reestablish itself again

Research direction

Reproduce the MT7615 idle-wakeup failure on OpenWrt 22.03-SNAPSHOT and begin with the hostapd log sequence in the report. Compare the inactivity disassociation, deauthentication, and later authentication behavior to determine where reconnection stops. Done means the phone can reconnect after becoming idle, with logs confirming the expected association flow.
