It's still the wrong thing to make wpa_s unconditionally leave the NIC
turned on, especially if it's no longer managing it.

Frankly, there isn't really a good way to let the NIC stay powered in
S5 anyway because it may wake up for a number of reasons like 4-way-
handshake, and that's not what you want.
