This does not feel correct.. The control interface for updating these
parameters is already calling wap_sm_set_param() immediately when the
value is updated. This might have an impact even for the current
association, so forcing an update when starting a new one would not
cover that. Shouldn't the D-Bus interface handler be updated to call
wpa_sm_set_param() instead to match the design in
wpa_supplicant/ctrl_iface.c?
