mac80211 doesn't handle reassociation when a connection is lost. It is=20
recommended to configure mac80211 with either wpa_supplicant or=20
NetworkManager (which in turn uses wpa_supplicant). However, since we're=20
trying to have a reasonable level of compatibility with userspace that use=
=20
wireless tools directly to connect, some reassociation is probably=20
appropriate to implement.
