  There's nothing bad in failing.  Clients do retry their last good TCP
connections when they wake up, only to find out the routing and local IP
address are no longer valid or available because the laptop moved
physically away from the old network. Like they are let fail their
connections gracefully, so reconnecting to the last known good WiFi AP
can be allowed to fail: if it's lucky, it's going to reconnect to the
last AP really fast, otherwise it's going to have to rescan the waves in
search of some known AP.

  Unless there are security concerns in doing this, I would like my
laptop to behave like this.
