Meanwhile the same slot can be freed on interface deletion. Current the remove_interface disables the beacon alert after freeing the slot. This may leads to null pointer access.

This reset happens at a very problematic point in time, when the hardware rx path has not been stopped yet. This could lead to memory corruption, hardware hangs or other issues. To fix these issues, simply remove the reset entirely and check the tx DMA stop status to prevent problems with fast channel changes.
