It failed. On my Ubuntu machine it works fine, but it seems
NetworkManager does give explicit RemoveInterface and CreateInterface
dbus primitives. When running wpa_supplicant without NetworkManager it
fails and it seems to be using the previous if_index. I will give
another stare the wpa_s log and send it out when I can not make sense of it.
