Would that be after a disconnect event?

I think that after a DISCONNECTED event the device should go to sleep
completely and wait for userspace instructions. Otherwise we end up
having a weird situation _again_ where userspace has no idea what the
device is doing. I suppose if the device just keeps trying you just have
to tell it to stop after a bit if it doesn't find a new connections.

Otherwise, if you're roaming, you still get a disconnect/reassoc or
something like that? Those together should form a ROAMED event.

I don't think I understand?

Why would you ever have a connect_result() while already connected?
