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