The original Realtek code assumed that ioctl Sets get done after the
interface is Up. This included the set to Essid and to the AP MAC#;
and it fit Realtek's installation procedure. But there is no such
necessity for the adapter, and no stated requirement found
elsewhere. Also, wireless drivers typically permit this.

A typical error message used to be:
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted.
