[c-nsp] LWAPP Problems

[Fred Reimer]

When an AP initially connects to a controller it will save the list of
controllers in the same mobility group to NVRAM, and attempt to connect to
those controller (management addresses) upon reboot.  It is likely a
"caveat" in the code running on the controller/AP, or a result of a "proper"
management address being stored in the AP and the AP using that rather than
what is being passed in DHCP.
