What happens when you roam from network A to network B with this patch applied? Or an intermittent loss or re - connection to any network?

When leaving a network, wpa_cli daemon will invoke wpa_action after recieving the disconnected signal via the control socket:
`wpa_action $IFACE DISCONNECTED'

wpa_action will then call ifdown:
`ifdown $IFACE'

At this point, the code from the above patch will then terminate the wpa_* daemons, via wpa_action, due to the logical mapping having a `wpa-roam slave' line in its stanza. Network B is now out of reach, or your connection is lost if you experience a DISCONNECTED event for whatever reason.

Please correct me if wrong.

Thanks, Kel.
