> Lennart Poettering's NetworkManager

Your experience is limited, and tainted. wpa-supplicant by itself can accomplish what you desire; NetworkManager (poorly) adds three or four extra layers of abstraction on top of that.

Meanwhile, Wicd and connman do exactly what you need, and don't constantly crash while doing it.

Blame ubuntu for following Red Hat's lead, and using their "solutions" to the problem.
