To let the AP-isolation work. If a client is known to be WIFI and we do not
"pass" this flag on roaming, we end up in a state where this client is not
marked as WIFI anymore (even if it should be).
During this time period the client will be able to talk to the other WIFI clients
even if the AP isolation is enabled
