Actually, this was not the reason for the doing the msleep(). The
problem was that wpa_supplicant received RTM_DELLINK, before getting the
NL08211_DISCONNECT. This resulted in RTM_DELLINK, immediately followed
by RTM_ADDLINK, followed by NL80211_DISCONNECT.

I'm not sure this isn't still possible? I don't know when DELLINK is
sent.

Given the behaviour I would say before the netdev notifier, which may be
considered wrong. It depends whether the notifier was intended for the
kind of thing that cfg80211 is doing, ie. send a netlink event to
user-space?
