For nl80211 you'll just have to disassoc and assoc again or so. For wext
you can, currently, always set the bssid to the current one, I think, or
quickly to any and then the same, or so...
Besides, commit shouldn't be doing anything unless you have outstanding
changes, which we never do, so your patch isn't even correct afaict.

I don't see a good reason to add code just to kill it again. Please just
leave wext alone.
