Yes, I'll try with standard tools, anyway when nwa quits it remove
eth0 from the list of interfaces managed by wpa_supplicant via a dbus
call.
I do not know exactly what wpa_supplicant does in such case, and as it
happens only some times I just guess the driver goes in some race
condition state.

I cannot confirm, I always had problem in some ways.
It may be only due the fact that as I developed nwa I stressed a lot
wifi during time.
Another hint is the wow interrupt, I noted it a lot of time, is it harmful?
