Come to think of it -- I thought I wrote this before somewhere but can't
find it -- it may be easier to hook into station state changes (assuming
we change all state changing code to call a function), and then report
trigger the dbus stuff based on the AUTHORIZED flag. That avoids issues
with doing two events when say the station disassocs and deauths later,
and similar things.
