Hi Reinhard,

thanks for implementing my suggestions so quickly!

I've just taken a quick look into the SVN version. Could you please add a 
small timeout (5 seconds maybe) before flushing the addresses? 

(If the connection is a bit unstable wpa_supplicant would sometimes disconnect 
just for a moment. So a timeout would help to distinguish important from 
accidental/momentary disconnects.)

Please, also let the wpasupplicant package suggest iproute.

Kind regards,

Felix
