Does this still happen if you connect quickly to a wifi network?

I think this may be related to active scans, and the fix
will likely be similar to this OpenBSD commit:

	https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/7b7ad45c6eb1f81fda7b875a3e190e53cf2d4bd2

But I haven't had time to tests/investigate/try to put
a patch together.
