We didn't do it because: 1) this is an unexpected behaviour so we simply put everything to the initial state when this happens and didn't put a lot of effort on the recovery 2) 'associate=1' used to be the default value, so the driver associated automatically after the firmware restart cycle. Patches are welcome.
