The esp-idf default (WIFI_PS_MIN_MODEM) can make the station unreachable from the LAN on APs with imperfect DTIM buffering: outbound traffic flows but unsolicited inbound ARP/ICMP/TCP is lost. Applications that mostly deep-sleep spend little time with WiFi up, so trade standby current for reachability. Signed-off-by: Paul Guyot <pguyot@kallisys.net>
