 From further playing with, it appears wpa is "waving" goodbye to 
router, but socket
gets shut down. wpa has to run before dhcp, which both need to be up 
before networkd.
Which reverse shut down doesn't allow "goodbye" or wpa's termination 
message.
Is there a way to get systemd to do the first two to shut down before 
the socket? Or can
I drop networkd and just call .socket? Haven't tried to see if dchp 
client will handle, new to this.
