I did that because wpa_s was ignoring the new EAPOL message sent by the rebooted
station. If I am not mistaken wpa_s would not expect a new "unencrypted" key
exchange. When I tried it wa snot working, that's why I came up with the
sta_info reset. But of course, if we could avoid the in-kernel reset, it would
be definitely better.
