I have written a timer which is invoked per second and compares current timing with last received beacon. If AP1 fails to listen beacons from AP2 in a second, it will automatically delete the entry of AP1 from its list by invoking timer handler (it's obivious).. 

Are these changes available somewhere?

Does this happen only with the modifications you did or can you
reproduce this with unmodified version of the driver?
