Yeah, though the code there hasn't changed much in cfg80211 in the
"connect" case from what he's using.  It seems that
supplicant-controlled roaming simply won't work with "connect" devices
unless a disconnect is done first?  Libertas is kinda different here
since it does allow userspace roaming control.
