This code is explicitly de-associating, which I was thinking is not
the right thing to do in ad-hoc mode:

wpa_supplicant_disassociate(wpa_s, WLAN_REASON_DEAUTH_LEAVING);

but you mean if the driver was working properly, that timeout would
not occur, even if there are no other nodes with the same SSID?
