I've made some BSSID handling changes, along with a bunch of changes wrt
communicating selected/connected state, and retesting with the latest GUI bits
shows the right behaviours - we can make the selection, we're prompted for the
key, we enter it and connect. Afterwards the known WLAN is on the list and
there's a tickmark beside the connected WLAN.
