Why do you need to do it?  Are you using "autocreate=none"?  Did you
delete the interface in managed mode?

I cannot reproduce this error if I use "autocreate=ap".  Please make
sure you don't have any interface in managed mode.  Use iwconfig to find
out.

Please don't top post.  You may be missing parts of my original message
if you quote it like that.
