The "authentication > timeout" issue only happens with the wireless-testing kernel from git. This is when using wpa_supplicant 0.6.9?

You know you can just have wpa_supplicant try to reassoc for you upon disconnection automatically, right? I use something like this: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ap_scan=1 network={ ssid="mosca" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=NONE } > On Wed, Aug 05, 2009 at 05:53:31PM +0200, Luis R.
