Well, I pointed that out before in response to having HAL use callouts
to set the properties (e.g., we don't actually change much from today).

Now I am suggesting that HAL actually have side effects to certain
properties and go out and set them on _its own_.

E.g., I do a hal_device_set_property() on a device's ESSID and then HAL
goes out and tries to change the ESSID.  The property is changed iff HAL
changes the property physically.

So there is no disconnect between HAL and reality.
