This is a bug in nwamd - when we make a selection, we're supposed to
call nwamd_set_selected_connected() for the ncu. This function will mark
the selection in the scan results and trigger a scan event to send them. We
currently "unmark" any previous selection but don't mark the current one.
Looking at nwamd_set_selected_connected() there's a bug w.r.t how it
handles selections - it assumes the selection is an essid/bssid combination.
That needs fixing too.
