This is fairly easy to be handled by hardmac as well. We didn't do it
because: 1) this is an unexpected behaviour so we simply put everything
to the initial state when this happens and didn't put a lot of effort on
the recovery 2) 'associate=1' used to be the default value, so the
driver associated automatically after the firmware restart cycle.

Patches are welcome.
