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 c=
lients
even if the AP isolation is enabled

Cheers,
