Right. I read through the Networking.lua code to see what it was doing,
then to the icon, and setting the status, and got lost! But in the
meantime, in investigating a too-long red icon, checking routing (cat
/proc/net/route), the gateway was missing, and didn't return for quite a
while. Apparently, the re-association alone caused this entry to be
deleted, hence the down/up reset, which I thought would trigger a lease
renewal to restore the entry. It did, but not rapidly enough.

But then, using your tip, wpa_cli reassoc  ; kill -s USR1 `cat
/var/run/udhcpc.eth1.pid` ; cat /proc/net/route works very quickly, the
gateway entry is still there, and the icon does not turn red at all, an
apparent big improvement over the previous code.

However, after doing this several times, my radio on the TTL serial now
works with the just re-association alone, perhaps beaten into
submission? I wonder knowing what is causing the gateway entry to be
deleted, and that 'arp' 'address in use' message seen earlier?

Perhaps this also will improve the success rate of the so-called
ResetQuick() method. This deserves some testing to make sure there are
no side effects. Thanks again.
