* If an AP interface is present, ANI will be started when adding the interface.
  If the AP interface is brought down, the remaining interfaces are checked to
  see if any associated STA interfaces are present before stopping ANI.

* ANI is started for the first STA interface that makes the transition to associated
  state. For subsequent managed interfaces, there is no point in re-starting ANI, since
  it is already running. The check there takes care that ANI is not stopped when one
  STA interface disconnects.
