[ath9k-devel] Problem re-associating with AP

[Amit Sood <as22_2000@yahoo.com>]

Hi Luis,

I tested it with wpa_supplicant but no improvement. However I noticed that the problem goes away if I uses WPA instead of WEP. So not sure what could be the reason. I tested with 3 linksys routers with same results.

Kind Regards,

Are you using wpa_supplicant? Are you using Network Manager? Note that
wpa_supplicant would be required to force reassociation, and I believe
the option to roam is ap_scan=1, so try that, even if you are
associated to an AP without encryption..
