disconnects from the AP, by default it will move to the INIT state. The user is expected to give the host_scan
command to initiate scanning.
2. SCAN: In This state the device performs scan and sends the scan results to the supplicant. In the STA alone mode,
the scan request from the supplicant is sufficient for the STA to move to this state. In case AP is running and the STA
is started, then the user has to give the host_scan command for the STA to move to this state.
3. AUTH: This is an intermediate state during connection. Once the STA collects the SCAN results and sends to the
supplicant, if any desired BSS is found, then the STA moves to this state to complete authentication.
4. ASSOC: Once the AUTH is successful, the STA moves to the ASSOCIATION State.
5. RUN: Once the ASSOCIATION is successful, the STA moves to RUN state and the user can co-relate this to
Connection Established. Once the STA enters into the RUN state, it automatically disables the host_scan command,
i.e the device no longer performs the SCAN even if the user hasn't explicitly sent the scan stop command. If the user
wishes to continue the SCAN he must initiate it again.
6. DOWN: If the STA VAP is not up, then the output is DOWN
