That shouldn't have any effect though, really?  MM's logic on bearer
initiated disconnection just changes some state, but doesn't do
anything material to the WDS client.  The WDS client and packet data
handle are still there and haven't been cleaned up.  Whether you can
actually use them for anything is another question.

But Russ, I don't quite understand why you'd want to ignore the
deregistration, unless it's just for testing.

If it's not for testing, well, the network kicked you off, and your
packet bearer is likely gone (since the network has released resources
for it when it kicked you off), and the IP details are gone too. 
That's not the modem, that's the network.  The only thing you can
really do is request a new bearer.
