[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#396137: Does not connect in roaming mode, only after wpa_cli -i $iface scan

[Michael Biebl]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.5-2
Severity: normal

I tried the new modes of wpa_supplicant using /e/n/i.
Using "wpa-conf /path/to/config" works fine but unfortunately blocks the
boot process. But when I use the new roaming mode (which is quite nicely
implemented btw.), my card, a ipw2100, does not associate.
If I login and run "wpa_cli -i wlan0 scan" manually, I get a connection a few
seconds later. So my guess is, that in roaming mode the card is not
properly initialized to do scanning.

Cheers,
Michael
