Interesting; that means that the device either (a) doesn't think it has
a link, or (b) the device's preferred access point is no longer valid.

(a) is more likely a driver thing, (b) is more likely an NM thing.

I'm thinking more and more that we need more debugging info in NM.  It
would probably be worth it to sanitize the debugging printouts for 0.6.5
and make NM cycle through debug levels with a SIGHUP or something.
Because we're just not getting enough debug info from most users.
