When we can't reach our connection partner any more, we can't
send the packets, and sending stalls.  We tell the upper networking
layers "my queue is full, don't send more stuff".

The question is whether we just forget to re-enable the upper
networking layers, or whether the firmware is unable to
re-establish the association with the base station, and
tell us when it did that.
