1. A wireless device comprising a processor and memory storing program code, such that, upon the program code being executed by the processor:
prior to associating with a wireless network, the wireless device is configured to:
receive a message from an access point of the wireless network, wherein the message contains information identifying (i) identity of the wireless network and (ii) one or more network policies of the wireless network;
based on the identity of the wireless network, determine whether a network attributes record for the wireless network already exists in the memory;
upon determining that a network attributes record for the wireless network does not exist, create a temporary network attributes record for the wireless network in the memory; and
associate to the wireless network.
