For example, OpenWrt gives us some default wireless networks which we do not want, but which are enabled by default and only restriced by the initial disablement of the radios (which is reversed when we add them).

One way to fix this would be to set the names of all of these sensitive objects (ready now, thanks to 4be4747f96), and as a final step, delete all objects that are not in the list of known names. This (thankfully) protects us from renames.

A simpler fix: just delete default_radio0 and default_radio1, for now.
