Aye, it does appear to do so.

I tested at home, where the an0 NIC is actually useful.  But I managed
to detach the card before the script reported successful association;
the machine kept running (and the script fell back to trying the wi0
NIC, since the an0 NIC was  no longer there).

I'd call that a definite improvement -- and fast response!  Thanks again!

Peace,
