Use the ENABLE_RX command for channel switching when no interface is present

The advantage of ENABLE_RX is that it leaves the tx data path disabled in
firmware, whereas the usual JOIN command seems to transmit some frames at
firmware level.

Sorry for the partly broken patches, I thought I configured my client the
right way. I tried to stop the mails at my mailserver, but it was mostly
already too late.
