This is when using wpa_supplicant 0.6.9? Or when using both 0.6.9
and git version of the supplicant?

You know you can just have wpa_supplicant try to reassoc for you
upon disconnection automatically, right? I use something like this:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={
        ssid="mosca"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=NONE
}

May want to update from git, iw has been updated recently so you could
decode more messages specially if using wireless-testing.
