Comment (by doddel):
@nbd
investigated behaviour with 'option force_link 1' removed and ap mode
i.s.o. sta mode in wireless.
After a brief delay the address and routes get assigned to the ap mode
wireless, including an ipv6 address; so in AP mode it works fine.
In either mode there is no wireless connection and in both there is an
active radio hardware.
Also from a routing point of view it is desirable to keep the routes and
ip address defined even when the link is down; the router can then answer
'gateway not reachable' or something to that extent. Without a default
route and knowledge of that interface's ip subnet and whether it is the
gateway it cannot be that specific about not being able to guide the
traffic.
