So I went ahead and applied all of these since these events weren't really used. 
  One thing to keep in mind is that the ASSOCIATE event firing in 
netdev_driver_connected was to take care of full-mac hardware that doesn't send 
authenticate / associate events over NL80211.  I think at some point this was 
used as a hint for something, even on full mac cards, but isn't any more.
