As far as I can gather, the master interface (or master configuration mode) is for when you want to use your computer as an access point, for other computers to connect to. I haven't actually tried doing that, though. For what it's worth, with all your having to delete interfaces and reconfigure them, when you went from one network to another, mentioned in the rest of your message.
