I think we can drop the BSS when we leave an IBSS network. The only advantage
of not doing so is a slightly faster join command that is given after
leaving - if there are more than 2 nodes in the cell, that is. But it would
be prudent to scan and check if the network exists before trying to join it,
so I'll send the patch for review.
