I might be mistaken, but afaics, this has always been the case for WiFi 
connections (as it is not really possible to carry the state across 
daemon reexecs). Are you saying this is not the case?
Ethernet connections should not be torn down on a daemon stop.

A remote upgrade over a WiFi connection without a side-band is not 
something I would encourage.
