the symptom is I lose all network connectivity, forever.  not just
during the rekey.  Once the rekey/disconnect occurs, I can't use the
network until I manually go to the network manager icon, and select
the same wireless network I was previously attached to, and then it
reconnects (the icon does the spinning balls)
