Indeed. But at least user has a way to let mac80211 forget the previous
setting (ifconfig wlan0 down and up). Otherwise, user has to reload the
modules to achieve this.

I agree there are more places we need to clear the setting. Putting it
to ieee80211_stop() is a good start. Should we have a "reset" like
ioctl? So the second config tool can call it to let mac80211 forget all
the previous setting.
Thanks,
