It just handles the issue itself. However, the network is "hung" while
it restarts. The Access Point shows similar events when this happens:

*** Jul 26 17:43:29 012858: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0,
Deauthenticating Station ***
*** Jul 26 17:43:32 012859: %DOT11-6-ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0,
Station   associated ***

3 second outage. Probably a wireless driver-specific issue. After all,
there's native, madwifi, ipw2*, etc.
