Hello Michael!

I think after all changes which affect the selected network a rejoin should be done.
For example you have at channel 4 a AP with the SSID "test" und at channel 11 an other AP with the same SSID, too.
If you now first say set_ssid("test") and then set_channel(11), we first join the network at channel 4 and then we switch the hardware low-level to channel 11. So we hang now in channel 4 with the BSSID of the network in channel 4 and nothing works anymore.
I think the order of the commands should not affect the result on the end and the driver should never hang in an broken/undefined state if it can be recovered.
Regards
Alina
