Forgive me that I'm so insistant on this question, but this is important: What state that goes beyond the data settable with wireless ioctls/iwconfig (that is kept anyway) needs to be saved by the stack? Last association info is worthless, the assocation can be restored using the ESSID/BSSID/channel set with iwconfig or by wpa_supplicant. Important is that userspace is notified about the connection loss. Is there _any_ other information not recreatable from iwconfig settings that needs to be kept?
