Hey Andrei,

I will try and digest your email and get you a meaningful response in the next
couple of days. I spent some time addressing another wpasupplicant bug report
and it took slightly longer than hoped and I run out of time on this fine
Sunday night.

I offer one quick tip for now:
| allow-hotplug eth1
| iface eth1 inet manual
|       wpa-ap-scan 1
|       wpa-scan-ssid 1
|       wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-roam.conf
|       wpa-debug-level 3

The "wpa-ap-scan" and "wpa-scan-ssid" options here are ambiguous; these
variables should be defined in the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-roam.conf that you
use (as per upstream documentation). "wpa-ap-scan" and "wpa-scan-ssid" are
really only useful for the so called "managed" mode where no wpa_supplicant
configuration is used at all.

What would also be interesting is output of
"wpa_action eth1 stop; ifup -v eth1"

Thanks, Kel.
